[Buildroot] e2progs and pkgconfig file

[Michael Sumulong]

I am currently trying to get partclone to compile under buildroot which
uses the ext2fs libraries. However, I get an issue when partclone compiles
and its looking for a ext2fs.pc file under usr/lib/pkgconfig. Compiling
e2fsprogs for the target does not produce this file under
output/target/usr/lib/pkgconfig but if I compile the host-e2fsprogs it does
generate a ext2fs.pc file under output/host/usr/lib/pkgconfig. I'm not sure
if this is a bug or done on purpose for some reason.

The ext2fs.pc file for the target e2fsprogs package should be under 
output/staging/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ like all other build facilities (headers, 
static libraries, etc.). The command

	output/host/usr/bin/pkg-config --libs ext2fs

gives the expected output on my system.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. I'm still fairly new to buildroot. I didn't
realize what the staging folder was for. Thanks, this helped fix my issue!
