[Buildroot] Yaboot doesn't build

Actually, ext2fs doesn't copy headers to staging dir so yaboot,
probably, can't find the necessary header.

If you are missing a .h file you can try to apply this patch
https://bugs.uclibc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531

that add support to export e2fsprogs headers to staging dir

Otherwise, if ld reports about missing lext2fs try to add
$(TARGET_LDFLAGS) to the make file of yaboot and/or add related paths
