[oe] "cannot find -lppl_c" link error

I am attaching (or trying to - I don't know whether the mailing list 
daemon would accept it) this list where all my errors and warnings are 
shown. Most of the warnings are "unpackaged files", but there are quite 
a few QA-related ones as well.

I did need it, but it wasn't enough - I ended up moving files away to a 
different partition on the network because I ended up needing 54G (yes, 
that's right - fifty four gigabytes!) - this came down significantly 
once the build has finished. My build failed a couple of times because 
of two general errors:

1) all matchbox-related + libfakekey recipes use an outdated url 
(svn.o-hand.com no longer hosts anything as they were taken over by 
intel), so I found a separate site (git.yoctoproject.org)  which hosted 
all this, though they use git, not svn, so I needed to (learn and) 
adjust these recipes to function properly. As a result of using the new 
(and updated!) repository one of the matchbox patches is no longer 
needed. I am willing to submit patches for these recipes, though I do 
not know what sort of policy is in place for these and how the 
submission process works - help and advice on that front is appreciated. 
I am attaching an "example" of the alterations I've done to the 
libfakekey recipe to make it work (at least for my build).

2) fsogsmd doesn't compile properly - I had to disable the 
"modem-nokia-isi" and "modem-qualcomm-palm" configure options 
(qualcomm-palm build is where it all falls apart - see the attached 
errors log) and make further adjustments to that recipe to disable all 
"irrelevant" packaging (at least in my case - I was building for 
"htcdream"), otherwise that won't work as there were no files produced 
as a result of me altering the configure options. I have no idea how to 
correct this - I was lucky in a way that I was building for htcdream and 
not for qualcomm-palm device for example. I also attach an "example" of 
the altered fsogsmd recipe - this is how I've made it to work.

I am also attaching my local.conf file as well for anyone interested, 
because even though I've indicated my locales, they were all built 
regardless of my selection. Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of that 
option - I did not want to build any other locale-related packages 
except for the locales I indicated in my local.conf file, is that how 
this option works?

I have another query though - is there a way to build a package (.ipk) 
to be included in the final image and not having to build it separately 
into .ipk file and then install it from the embedded device?

As the htcdream/shr build was completed just to see how OE works, I am 
now going to get a proper image built (which I will use) and see where 
that takes me.
