Summary

0005374: Cannot compile libpng, directfb, and other packages due to missing -L option

Description

With current Buildroot SVN, I have an issue when trying to build libpng
and directfb: the configure script cannot find that zlib is installed.

The configure script tries to compile a simple program that makes a
call to zlibVersion() using the -lz option. But the
-L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/ option is not passed to gcc (the -I options
are correct however), so the compilation fails and configure complains
that it can't find the configure script.

In package/Makefile.in, it seems that the library path is passed in
TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS, using LD :

LD="$(TARGET_LD) $(TARGET_LDFLAGS)" \

In the config.log, I see reference to the correct -L paths, but these
paths seem to be removed when testing the compilation of the sample
zlib program.

I'm using the following patches to workaround the problem, but I don't think these are the proper fixes.
