[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/6] core: ditch LD_LIBRARY_PATH (branch yem/no-ld-library-path)

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

Hello All!

This series is an attempt to ditch LD_LIBRARY_PATH for host binaries.

Using LD_LIBRARY_PATH is causing build issues on certain distributions,
like Fedore 23, see:
    https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=8456
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2015-October/142898.html

Basically, on Fedora 23, ls (from coreutils) is now linked to libcap,
which is also linked to libattr. However, outr own libcap is not linked
to libattr, and ls is too. However, because of our LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the
host ls is using our libcap, and thus fails to run.

This series:
  - ?xes a few host packages, add RPATH to packages where it is missing
  - fixes the host-mysql definition, allow it to be built always
  - removes host-perl-file-util, it is not used anywhere and is broken
  - cleanups libcurl about LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  - adds a script to check that host binaries have appropriate RPATH
  - finally removes LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Even though this is a relatively intrusive change, it in my opinion
should go in master now, otherwise, we'd get a full release cycle broken
on Fedora, which would really be a shame... :-/

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
