My guess is that you have BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG=y in your Buildroot .config,
right?

If that's the case, then you've hit the problem that uClibc doesn't
build properly when debugging support is enabled. That's unfortunately
an upstream uClibc problem, I believe.

Either disable BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG in Buildroot (which will disable
debugging support for all packages), or if you want to keep debugging
support enabled globally but don't care about debugging support in
uClibc, apply a change like:

diff --git a/package/uclibc/uclibc.mk b/package/uclibc/uclibc.mk
index 20d3bb6..062ac0d 100644
--- a/package/uclibc/uclibc.mk
+++ b/package/uclibc/uclibc.mk
@@ -390,14 +390,6 @@ UCLIBC_WCHAR_CONFIG = $(call UCLIBC_OPT_UNSET,UCLIBC_HAS_WCHAR,$(@D))
 endif
 
 #

-ifeq ($(BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG),y)
-UCLIBC_DEBUG_CONFIG = $(call UCLIBC_OPT_SET,DODEBUG,y,$(@D))
-endif
