[yocto] Can't build util-linux

[Mark Hatle]

I'm getting the same error.  There is a workaround:

Add the following to your local.conf

WARN_QA = "ldflags useless-rpaths rpaths"

A new QA check went in, and it appears to be missing part of the merge.

(WARN_QA is normally defined as:
WARN_QA ?= "ldflags useless-rpaths rpaths unsafe-references-in-binaries 
unsafe-references-in-scripts")
