buildroot uClibc build problems for powerpc

I am having build issues with the latest buildroot for the ppc. I have been using buildroot for a few years now for embedded development and it is time to upgrade for new pkgs, toolchain etc (great tool btw!).

Here are the particulars with a bare minimum compile for:
powerpc
builroot toolchain
linux-2.6.21.x
snapshot uClibc (def the same issue)
binutils 2.17.50.0.16
build C++ compiler

I get the following error:
