Well, I checked with two of the autobuilder toolchains:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/br-arm-cortex-a9-musl-2015.11-rc1-71-g90d1299.tar.bz2
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/i686-ctng-linux-gnu.tar.xz
And I get this:
SYSROOT_DIR_CANON:
/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/musl/host/opt/ext-toolchain/arm-buildroot-linux-musleabihf/sysroot
ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR_CANON:
/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/musl/host/opt/ext-toolchain/arm-buildroot-linux-musleabihf/sysroot
Unable to detect if sysroots are nested or side by side.
Creating a harmless symlink necessary for certain toolchains.

I understand, let see what maintainers says.
