I did this again from another machine
(silvie at silvie-VirtualBox:~/buildroot-2012.11$ uname -a
Linux silvie-VirtualBox 3.2.0-34-generic-pae #53-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 15
11:11:12 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)

In short :
wget buildroot, tar -xf, make, a menuconfig pops, I exit and save
config, make, wait a bit ... and it fails with the above error about
large file system.

So I'm sure now that the default config has a problem with largefiles.
I'm sorry I'm too new to investigate further. Should I open a bug
ticket ?

I did not try other versions of gcc as proposed by Berns. But my gcc
version is :
ard at ard-host(10.0):/opt/buildroot/output/host/usr$
./x86_64-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/gcc --version
gcc (Buildroot 2012.11-svn2-dirty) 4.6.3
I wonder about the "svn2-dirty" tag.
