The problem is still present on the master branch.

The minimal defconfig to reproduce the problem is:
BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LARGEFILE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LVM2=y

The problem is related to "BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB=y" without that
option it builds fine.
Updating it to the latest available git version does not fix the issue.
I will try to investigate further.
