[oe] [PATCH 0/6] libtool 2.4 upgrade

[Khem Raj]

Hi

Following set of patches is intial support for getting libtool 2.4 into
openemebedded. I have so far built minimal-image for two machines successfully

The big change that libtool 2.4 brings is sysroot support and I have added
support to use this feature. It should make our life easier.

This patchset is not final but needs a lot of testing testing and testing

Please cherry pick the patch bundle and give it a try in yout environment

There might be libtool macro updates needed for few packages. I have
a patch which does it for gnutls the changes will be similar for others

Some distros pin libtool version to 2.2.6b

include/preferred-slugos-versions.inc
include/angstrom-2008-preferred-versions.inc
include/kaeilos-2009-preferred-versions.inc
include/angstrom-2010-preferred-versions.inc
include/preferred-shr-versions.inc

So if you are using one of these distro's then you might have
to override the version in your local.conf

PREFERRED_VERSION_libtool_local       = "2.4"
PREFERRED_VERSION_libtool-native_local = "2.4"
PREFERRED_VERSION_libtool-cross_local = "2.4"
PREFERRED_VERSION_libtool-sdk_local   = "2.4"

Please review and test and provide feedback

Thanks
