I applied this patch, but I had to make heavy changes to it: you didn't
take into account the !MMU case, and the BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB case.
The first was easy to solve: programs cannot be built in a !MMU
configuration. The second one required more work, as your original
patch changes to run 'make' at the root of the libcap sources, which
doesn't work to build only the libcap.a library in a static library
context. So I had to revert your solution, and instead to a 'make' in
the libcap/ directory, and another 'make' in the progs/ directory.

Thanks!

Thomas
