I had this same problem while building an Xscale cross-compile of
DirectFB-1.0.0-rc2 on an Ubuntu Edgy desktop.
For some reason libtool makes a substitution of "/usr/lib/libpng12.so"
when "-lpng12" is specified, and then passes this path to gcc. This path
happens to be the host libpng12.so library, when we really want the
target's library, so it has the wrong format. Why libtool does this I have
no idea, but I was able to work around it by explicitly specifiying the
full path of target libpng12.so library in the corresponding DirectFB
"Makefile". In my case, I had to make this correction in only 2 places,
though "-lpng12" is specified in hundreds of places within the DirectFB
Makefile source tree.
For example, in DirectFB/tools/Makefile:
# LIBPNG = -lpng12 << comment this one out
# and add this in
LIBPNG = /home/user/path-to-target-toolchain/lib/libpng12.so
I also needed this same change in
DirectFB/interfaces/IDirectFBImageProvider/Makefile.
Hope this helps.

DirectFB builds now, I think we can close this. It still have some problems
with pkg-config that have been reported upstream though, but not related to
this particular report.
