Calling fakeroot when building buildroot inside a docker container hangs forever

As also mentioned in this bug here: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7331 the fakeroot project seems to have an issue, starting with fakeroot version 1.35, so that using it within a docker container results in the build process to hang forever. I could reproduce this with several different docker images, focusing on newer ubuntu versions (ubuntu:20.04, ubuntu:22.04, ubuntun:24.04).

I tested this with several available buildroot versions of 2025.02.x (2025.02, 2025.02.1, 2025.02.3). Downgrading the fakeroot package to version 1.34 solved the issue for me.

Buildroot versions 2024.02.x also worked fine, as they used older verions of the fakeroot package.
