FWIW, Siva provided me off-list (or rather without Cc'ing the list) his
Buildroot .config file, which selects the glibc C library. But his
build log indeed indicates a toolchain built the musl C library.

Which hints very clearly that Siva didn't do a "make clean all" after
changing the toolchain configuration.

Siva: please read
https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#full-rebuild.

Thanks,

Thomas
