[OE-core] [PATCH 06/11] eglibc-nativesdk: Fix buffer overrun with a relocated SDK

From: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel at windriver.com>

When ld-linux-*.so.2 is relocated to a path that is longer than the
original fixed location, the dynamic loader will crash in open_path
because it implicitly assumes that max_dirnamelen is a fixed size that
never changes.

The allocated buffer will not be large enough to contain the directory
path string which is larger than the fixed location provided at build
time.
