Summary:                    DirectFB Fails with --enable-static option because
of incorrect ld location
Description: 
Hi, 

Today i was trying to make arm926ejs toolchain with buildroot 4th feb
snapshot. I added --enable-static option in directfb.mk file. During build
i noticed that directfb is using root ld (/usr/bin/ld) instead of
arm-linux-ld build by buildroot toolchain. i renamed /usr/bin/ld to
/usr/bin/ld_orig and it failed with below error. 

Is there any way to make directfb makefile to consider buildroot toolchain
built ld instead of /usr/bin/ld
