Not all Debian packages have cross-build support built-in. Some, like
ppp, do not understand how to use a cross-compiler and assert the use
of cc despite attempts to get it to cross build. The package would need
modification to cross build.

Is there an alternative armel platform available for the build?
What about using the existing Debian armel package:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/armel/ppp/download
(or are you patching ppp or adding it inside buildroot?)
I can have a look at providing a patched package, possibly later or
simply uploading a cross-built package somewhere if the changes you
need are checked in somewhere.
