rpm 4.9.1.2 is not part of Yocto. So this might be part of the issue. RPM 4
historically has had significant issues with cross compiling. (We use RPM 5
within Yocto for this reason.)
The Link syntax of "=/usr/lib/libz.la" means link the library located within the
sysroot directory.
The version of rpm(4) which you are attempting to compile does not understand
this syntax. Either the issue is located within the libtool command itself, or
within one of the makefile fragments.
The version of libtool shipped with Yocto understands the "=" syntax. Did you
use it, either by running libtoolize --copy --force --or-- using the built-in
autotools recipe helper?
