[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/1] toolchain: detect external glibc in merged /usr

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Cam, All,

On 2017-09-04 07:00 +1000, Cam Hutchison spake thusly:
> When using an external toolchain that was built with Buildroot and a
> merged /usr, the dynamic linker is actually in /usr/lib.
> 
> But the check_glibc macro limits the depth it is looking for the dynamic
> linker, and misses it when it is in /usr/lib because it is too deep.
> 
> We could fix that in two ways: increase the depth in which we look
> for it, or follow symlinks. We choose the second solution.
