imx-lib is the very first package you're going to build, so wait for a
lot of more trouble building it manually.

One suggestion is to review the recipes available in meta-fsl-arm. We
collected there all the tricks to build the packages.

I would forget about manual build and use yocto to generate rpm
packages to be installed.
