Could you provide your .config file?

This is not possible: either you use a toolchain downloaded by
Buildroot, or that is already installed on your system.

I googled around for the whole day and just couldn't figure out the solution. Could you help please?

It clearly looks like the toolchain you're using is *not* Sourcery
Codebench ARM 2013.05, but a different Freescale toolchain, which we
have never tested.

Where can I get this toolchain, in order to test it?

Best regards,

Thomas
