No; it was that way when I found it, and I'm still too rusty on yocto to 
do it the right way.  If you can point me to a recipe that does this 
I'll try to rework it (and resubmit based on openembedded-core instead 
of poky).

(FWIW: The issue doesn't show up building cups; it shows up with 
core-image-lsb building ghostscript which believes cups-config's lie 
that it needs -L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to find the gcrypt libraries that 
it doesn't reference.)
