You can use a root filesystem overlay, configured using the BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY variable.

See chapter 9.5. Customizing the generated target filesystem in the Buildroot manual.

Just in case someone is looking for a easy fix you can add the files to buildroot-dir/files folder. The file should match the exact directory structure. For example you want to put the file in /usr/bin in the image then keep the file in buildroot-dir/files/usr/bin and rebuild the image.
