FWIW, I can also reproduce the issue. It seems to be due to the fact
that the --prefix location is not writable (since it's /usr). See
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32101#c4.

So, I've cooked the attached patch, which allows the toolchain to
build, but the toolchain fails when compiling Busybox with messages
such as :

dc.c:(.text+0x10c): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL
against symbol `__avr32_f64_to_u32' defined in .text section
in /home/test/issue/old-br/buildroot/output/staging/usr/lib/gcc/avr32-unknown-linux-uclibc/4.2.2/libgcc.a(_avr32_f64_to_s32.o)

I don't yet know what is happening.
