[yocto] SDK not contianing archive libraries

[Joseph Andrew de la Peña]

Good day Ross,

I've mimic'd the bitbake.conf way of adding -staticdev. Apparently I got a
QA error stating that there are already multiple definitions of -staticdev
for my unit.

BTW, what's the purpose of ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1" and
ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN}-dev = "1"?

Really thank you for your help with this one.

- Joseph
