The problem is probably not in the buildroot but in the ramdisk
image that its creating.

Just fix the ramdrive image_file directly...
Assuming you can get your hands on an ARM libgcc_s.so.1 file and
your created ramdrive image file, just download my linuxTheTools
archive:

ftp://ftp.sysdev.org/pub/lintools/LTT/linuxTheTools-0.7.5-i486-1.tar.bz2

In there, there are 2 bash script called 'usr/bin/mntfimg' and
'usr/bin/umntfimg'. Copy them to your system's usr/bin
directory.

In your system, where you copied the ARM ramdrive file image,
make a directory for example /rammount, then run:
    mntfimg -r 'ramfile's path & name' /rammount

assuming everything went well, you mentioned your ramdrive
image was ext2 ...

cd /rammount

take a look and put the missing file where it goes, then

cd back to / and run:
    umntfimg /rammount  

The ramdrive boot might now find the file...

Gluck,
