As it seems that all HOST_CFLAGS/HOST_LDFLAGS combination have tried do
not work, I've tried another solution: setting the rpath in host
binaries outside of the build process of those binaries.

For this, I've added a new package, patchelf, which is compiled for the
host. And then, everytime a package installs something for the host
(in the $(BUILD_DIR)/%/.stamp_host_installed target in
package/Makefile.package.in), I do:

find $(HOST_DIR)/bin $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin $(HOST_DIR)/usr/sbin $(HOST_DIR)/sbin -type f -perm +111 -exec $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/patchelf --set-rpath $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib {} \; >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

Would this sort of solution be acceptable ?
