Most likely you are missing a build prerequisite.
See docs/manual/prerequisite.adoc .

Look also at the last lines of runtest_results/TestMariaDB-build.log:
they may give you a hint on what package is missing.

For the record, I could successfully run this test on a fresh Debian
trixie VM as follows:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install -y curl build-essential unzip rsync bc libncurses-dev
    sudo apt install -y qemu-system-arm python3-{nose2,pexpect}
    wget https://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2025.05.2.tar.gz
    tar xaf buildroot-2025.05.2.tar.gz
    cd buildroot-2025.05.2
    support/testing/run-tests -d dl -o runtest_results -k tests.package.test_mariadb
