I thought it might be something I did so I downloaded buildroot again
and recompiled without changing anything except ARCH and the serial
console port and got the same result.

Right, no password, just press enter.

Are you sure that you haven't made any change to /etc/securetty ? It
must contain at least /dev/ttySAC0 to allow login as root from this
console. The default target skeleton has a /etc/securetty that contains
/dev/ttySAC0, so it should be ok, unless you made any change to the
skeleton, of course, or used a different skeleton.
