Well are you sure buildroot really touches modules in Linux kernel build folder?
Buildroot just runs a simple "make" command in "output/build/linux-x.y".

And only on installation step Buildroot strips binaries in "output/target" folder.
Moreover starting from that commit
https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=10c4d27aef4dca01572cfc8146cbfd194a1a85e4
even on Linux installation step Buildroot reuses kernel's module stripping infrastructure
but again that happens only on target.

Just in case that's what I see when building MSDOSFS as module.

In build folder:
