The commit log is honestly hard to grasp.

missing_libs is added as a variable, but not used anywhere in this
patch. Unrelated change?

Overall this change should really be a review comment to my patch
"support/scripts/check-host-bins: add new check on host binaries/libs"
as it's a bug/issue introduced by this not yet merged patch.

But isn't your patch going to offer a messed up output like this:

****
**** ERROR: package %s uses libs not in HOST_DIR:
**** ERROR: package %s installs executables without proper RPATH:
****   file1
****   file2

isn't that a bit odd?
