Basically, I'd say:
- if crosstool-NG works OK standalone, but fails in buildroot with the
same options, then the issue is to be reported here, on the BR ML,
- but if crosstool-NG does not work standalone with the same config
options, then please report to the crossgcc ML.

Do you mean the m4 built by buildroot as a package, or the m4 built by
crosstool-NG as part of the companion tools (which you should not use,
except under very exceptional conditions) ?

Yes, I know about this issue. You're not the first one to report it, but I
was not able to reproduce it, not to understand how it can happen (although
I have a small idea, but I'm not sure)
I'm doing some changes right now, that should fix the issue if all goes well.
