[oe] mozjs fails with autoconf related QA errors

[Peter Urbanec]

This one has me stumped, I wonder if anyone can figure it out and even 
better, explain how to go about tracking down the source of the problem.

I can see that it boils down to gcc being given |"-L/usr/lib|" , but I 
can't figure out how it gets there.

$ bitbake -b mozjs_17 -c configure

results in:

ERROR: This autoconf log indicates errors, it looked at host include 
and/or library paths while determining system capabilities.
Rerun configure task after fixing this. The path was 
'/T3/builds/beyonwiz/inihdx/tmp-glibc/work/mips32el-oe-linux/mozjs/mozjs-17.0.0-r0/build'

I am using meta-oe master:e997f028f7076fbac9c741ec77bfda0b65257d10

Digging through the logs, this seems like the most likely cause
(found in 
tmp-glibc/work/mips32el-oe-linux/mozjs/mozjs-17.0.0-r0/build/config.log)

Help with this would be very much appreciated.
