Buildroot has its own mailing list.

Ah, so you already know what we'd suggest.

I vaguely remember hearing about a bug like this being fixed a year and change 
ago, but don't remember the details.  (Um, it died if it couldn't 
find /etc/resolv.conf maybe?  I honestly don't remember.  It's been a while.)

Run it under strace and see what it's actually doing.  Figure out what's 
getting sent to the kernel (if anything), and what the kernel's returning.  
More than once I've had the appropriate kernel CONFIG symbol switched off...
