[OE-core] [PATCH] systemd: use AC_CHECK_TOOL instead of AC_PATH_TOOL when checking objcopy, strings, gperf

[Martin Jansa]

* with external toolchain I have different HOST_PREFIX and HOST_SYS
  AC_PATH_TOOL is using HOST_SYS as prefix and fails to find objcopy
  then it tries objcopy without prefix which is found on host, but
  that objcopy does not work for arm libs
* with internal toolchain gperf is not prefixed with HOST_PREFIX, but
  fallback to "gperf" only finds the one in native sysroot first
* based on http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2013-April/037985.html
  Khem suggested to export strings and gperf from bitbake.conf instead

+Subject: [PATCH] configure: use AC_CHECK_TOOL for objcopy, strings and gperf
+
+* using AC_PATH_TOOL does not allow to override it from shell environment
+  which is useful when cross-compiling
+* with external toolchain I have different HOST_PREFIX and HOST_SYS
+  AC_PATH_TOOL is using HOST_SYS as prefix and fails to find objcopy
+  which is available only as ${TARGET_PREFIX}objcopy then it tries
+  objcopy without prefix which is found on host, but that objcopy
+  does not work for !host (e.g. arm when building on x86) libs
