You're using CodeSourcery 2009q3, which uses gcc 4.4.1, which has this known problem: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40134 Since you're using an external binary toolchain here, there's nothing we can fix in Buildroot, you simply need to upgrade to a newer version of the CodeSourcery toolchain, such as 2011.03.
