Summary	0002666: Pango and cairo compilation fails because of a bad libtool file (.la)
Description	When compiling pango and cairo (for example as part of the webkit package for the midori browser), compilation fails because a library is not found. This problem exists on fsimx6-V2.0 based on buildroot-2014.02 as well as on fsvybrid-V2.1 based on buildroot-2013.02.
Steps To Reproduce	Configure for standard rootfs image and call menuconfig make fsimx6_std_defconfig make menuconfig Then add the following settings: Target Packages -> Libraries -> Graphics -> libgtk2 Target Packages -> Graphic libraries and applications -> midori Then call make. The compilation will fail when compiling libcairo examples.
Additional Information	The error produced above shows that the libtool file output/staging/usr/lib/libdirectfb.la contains a path for libstdc++.la that is a combination of the staging directory and the global path of the toolchain in /usr/local/arm. This path does not exist. So in fact the error already happens when package directfb is built and progresses to libcairo.la. So there is a general issue with libtool that creates .la files with bad path names.
