[Buildroot] DirectFB fails to build with buildroot 2009.11

[Lionel Landwerlin]

Hello

I'm experiencing the same problem since I'm using external toolchains. It
took me quite a few time to figure out the problem (and when cross compiling
from amd64 to i386, you don't even get any error at link time, but generated
binaries are unusuable...).

The problem is that when installing directfb, librairies are relinked for
the destination directory. This relink step uses the .la linker scripts from
the directfb installation which haven't been processed to replace the libdir
path.
Thus, it ends up adding -L/usr/lib instead of -L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib to
the compiler options.

Here is a patch to fix the problem. Apply it to your buildroot copy, and rm
-rf output/build/directfb-1.4.2

I'm pretty sure that others librairies have the same issue. We might need to
factorise this fix in Makefile.autotools.in... Not sure yet.

Regards,
