[oe] Linker problem with libfreetype.so when cross-compiling for armv7a from x86_64

[johnso87 at crhc.illinois.edu]

Hi,
    I tried to build the beagleboard-demo-image recipe from scratch on a
64-bit machine running Ubuntu 10.04.  I already had 32- and 64-bit
libfreetype.so installed (in /usr/lib and /usr/lib32) on the host.  I
get an error when trying to compile clxclient, a child project of
JAAA:

I tried adding /usr/lib32 to the front of my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and tried
adding -L/usr/lib32 to the compile arguments by hacking my
/usr/bin/freetype-config , but neither seemed to do anything.  It keeps
finding the 64-bit version of libfreetype.so and puking.

Any thoughts?

I'm working from the HEAD of the master OE Git branch.

Thanks,
