Summary:                    host lzo and zlib can't be built within buildroot
Description: 
host-mtd requires liblzo and zlib headers and libraries, but nothing in
buildroot builds them.

It's not clear if we should build these in buildroot or expect them to be
installed on the host system through the normal package manager.. zlib is
pretty common for example, though lzo less though.

Is there a known workaround for this problem? I noticed the Makefile in
toolchain_build_arm/mtd_orig limits the include file search path to the
local include directory (-I ./include).
