[Buildroot] Buildroot ARM toolchain build Error: libexpat

[Arun Reddy]

I'd just like to point out that I located "libexpat" in my build system and
a bunch of files are under /usr/lib as libexpat.a, libexpat.la, libexpat.so,
etc. Do you guys these need to be moved somewhere in
/root/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/ for them to be located?
