Summary:                    DirectFB Fails with --enable-static option because
of incorrect ld location
Description: 
Hi, 

Today i was trying to make arm926ejs toolchain with buildroot 4th feb
snapshot. I added --enable-static option in directfb.mk file. During build
i noticed that directfb is using root ld (/usr/bin/ld) instead of
arm-linux-ld build by buildroot toolchain. i renamed /usr/bin/ld to
/usr/bin/ld_orig and it failed with below error. 

Is there any way to make directfb makefile to consider buildroot toolchain
built ld instead of /usr/bin/ld

It looks like some (re)linking is being done at install time. Modify
directfb.mk to pass the relevant compiler/linker flags during install as
well.

Where you see:

$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/libdirectfb.so: $(DIRECTFB_DIR)/.compiled
	$(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr -C $(DIRECTFB_DIR) install

change this to

	$(MAKE) $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) DESTDIR=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr -C $(DIRECTFB_DIR) install

Please report if this works for you so that it can be checked in.
