Subject: [PATCH] Fix installation location of libffi

​

The libffi is currently declared as toolexeclib_LTLIBRARIES. In many

cases, toolexeclib libraries will be installed in /usr/lib, so it

doesn't make any difference.

​

However, with multilib toolchains, they get installed in a

subdirectory of /usr/lib/. For example, with a Sourcery CodeBench

PowerPC toolchain, if the e500mc multilib variant is used, the libffi

library gets installed in /usr/lib/te500mc/. This is due to the

following code in the configure script:

​

  multi_os_directory=`$CC -print-multi-os-directory`

  case $multi_os_directory in

    .) ;; # Avoid trailing /.

    *) toolexeclibdir=$toolexeclibdir/$multi_os_directory ;;

  esac

​

Once the library is installed in /usr/lib/te500mc/, nothing works

because this installation location is inconsistent with the

installation location declared in libffi.pc.

​

So, instead of using this bizarre toolexeclib_LTLIBRARIES, simply use

the more standard lib_LTLIBRARIES, which ensures that the libffi

library is always installed in /usr/lib.
