cover Fix perl-native compilation on ubuntu 11.04

Ubuntu decided to move libc and friends to /usr/lib/$ARCH-linux-gnu so we need to know that in perl's configure

PATCH 1/1 perl-native_5.12.2.bb: Fix compliation on ubuntu 11.04-alpha

Ubuntu has moved eglibc to /usr/lib/${arch}-linux-gnu and /lib/${arch}-linux-gnu so we need that to be added to glibpth in Configure.

Currently we set LD=ld in environment for recipes inheriting native class. This overrides the LD settings in the Makefiles of perl and it tries to link by calling ld which does not work since its using -l<x> on commandline and ubuntu linker seems not to look into the new location for these libraries. Its better to use gcc for linking here anyway

+export LD="${CC}"

We have CCLD for when we want to use CC as our LD (and yes, this usually just ends up as CC, but lets be clear please).

This change is not working for me on Ubuntu 11.04 {released}. The libraries are found in /lib/i386-linux-gnu and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu At least on the machine where it fails, uname -m gives i686, so the test

I hard coded the i386-linux-gnu paths and was able to build perl-native on Ubuntu 11.04

I used uname since I thought that was way to make it common for both x86_64 and x86 but it seems they made life harder than that. I did not have 32bit installation to verify

Note: no criticism intended :-)

Perhaps some sort of wildcard could work? Just replace uname -m with "*"? I just tried this here and it seems to work on my x86 system.

  $ test -f /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/libc.so && glibpth="/usr/lib/*-linux-gnu $glibpth"
  $ echo $glibpth
  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
