[Buildroot] Question concerning buildroot-libtool.patch

["Peter Hüwe" <PeterHuewe@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I just tried to bump pidgin/finch (instant messenger I've send a patch a whole 
ago) to 2.7.1 but unfortunately building it fails while patching the 
ltmain.sh.

Applying buildroot-libtool.patch using plaintext:

It used to work with an older version of Buildroot (~ git 2010-05-14) - but as 
far as I can see nothing has changed on the patch / or the pidgin source I've 
used.

Any ideas how I can fix this? Unfortunately I'm not that into the whole 
buildroot system (yet, but I'd like to learn and contribute to it).


It seems to compile fine without this patch (although I've not tested the 
binary)


Thanks,
Peter
