I haven't tested gcc 4.2 with ARM builds, but I have no problems
building and linking wpa_supplicant with gcc 3.4.1 for armeb using
uClibc.

This sounds like a toolchain/configuration issue.. Are you only seeing
this with wpa_supplicant build? Have you tried building something else
that uses the same libraries (namely OpenSSL in this case)?
