It is expected that the compiler isn't pointing directly to your
external toolchain. Buildroot compiles a small wrapper around the
external toolchain, in order to pass some appropriate arguments when
the external compiler is called. Therefore it is perfectly normal that
the compiler is called output/host/usr/bin/arm-<something>-gcc. Any
other value would be wrong.
