This issue appears since boost-log has been added (BR2_PACKAGE_BOOST_LOG=y).
May be an issue specific to uClibc 0.9.33 ?
Needs to test with uClibc-snapshot and uClibc-ng.

There is two proposal to fixes this issue:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/460494/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/449686/

Also, it's not a issue specific to the arc toolchain:

Weird because this package is autoreconfed... but wait.
If you look to the build-time.log, you'll see that host-autoconf-archive has
been installed before numactl.
host-autoconf-archive can suppressed several m4 macro bundled with a package.
Needs to test with and without host-autoconf-archive.
