See the BR2_PACKAGE_GCC_TARGET option, which allows to enable toolchain
in the target.

However, remember that Buildroot is a *cross-compilation* build system:
its purpose is to cross-compile libraries and programs for the target.
Therefore, the target toolchain (which allows to do native compilation
on the target) is not that widely used, and therefore not that widely
tested.

Regards,

Thomas
