[yocto] libtool problem?

[Hans Beckérus]

Hi. I recently discovered that our populated SDK can not properly
build much at all :(
libtool complains about .la files that have been moved and not being
able to find dito.
The rootfs builds fine however. What I did noticed was that in our .la
files we get lines like this:

dependency_libs=' =/usr/lib/libxcb.la =/usr/lib/libXau.la =/usr/lib/libXdmcp.la'

Is that '='-sign really supposed to be there? Is that why many builds
fails to properly locate the .la files?

Thanks.
Hans
