[OE-core] uclibc SDK not including libpthread_nonshared.a

[Mark Norman]

Hi,

I have experienced some issues building external code using an oe-core
built SDK.  I can get code to compile fine but when linking it
complains about missing libpthread_nonshared.a or uclibc_nonshared.a.
Neither library is included in the SDK directory.  I noticed that
uclibc.inc
attempts to include these two libraries into the -dev package (from
meta/recipes-core/uclibc/uclibc.inc):

FILES_${PN}-dev_append = "\
       ${libdir}/lib*.so \
       ${libdir}/*_nonshared.a \      <---- Note
       ${libdir}/[S]*crt[1in].o \
       ${libdir}/crtreloc*.o \
       ${includedir}/*.h ${includedir}/*/*.h \
      "

However, the two _nonshared.a libraries end up getting packaged in the
-staticdev package.  I think this is because the -staticdev package
gets processed before the -dev package (as defined in
meta/conf/bitbake.conf).  The eglibc-package.inc also tries to package
the _nonshared.a libraries into the -dev package but I did notice that
the eglibc PACKAGES argument explicitly lists the -dev package before
-staticdev.  I tried the same thing in uclibc.inc eg:

Doing this caused the _nonshared.a libraries to successfully get
packaged in the -dev package.

Is this the correct way to get this to work?  If so I am happy to
submit a proper patch, otherwise is there something else I am missing?

Kind Regards
