[oe] [RFC] Fix udev pulling in libvolume-id-dev

[Denys Dmytriyenko]

Hi,

I was debugging the strange behavior of one of my boxes pulling in libc6-dev 
into the filesystem image and it happened to be because udev pulled in 
libvolume-id-dev instead of libvolume-id0... It worked as expected on the 
other box, though.

Several people on IRC have seen this lingering bug before, but no fix was 
available. Koen mentioned it got fixed for him by rebuilding udev...

After some investigation I found out that both libvolume-id packages (-dev and 
regular) are registered to provide libvolume_id.so.0 and the one appearing 
last in os.walk() gets pulled in by udev. The order of files provided by 
os.walk() depends on parallel builds and phase of the Moon.

libvolume-id-dev does not provide the actual .so library, but it contains a 
symlink in /usr/lib, which points to /lib/libvolume.so.0 (the host one!) 
instead of ../../lib/ one...

The first patch attached fixes this in udev and should be a no brainer. Unless 
someone objects, I'll push it in in a day or two.

Since I was debugging the code which actually does this shlib magic in 
package.bbclass, I thought it might be useful to prevent this kind of issues 
in the future by skipping symlinks while looking for SONAME/NEEDED in the 
objdump - please see the second patch attached and provide feedback.
