webkit build fails

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build webkit version r46969 with Buildroot 2009.02. The build is OK till the linkage phase, where it fails, because libtool searches some of the libs in the system dir /usr/lib instead of the target dir. I think that the problem is in libtool, which is version 1.5.24. Here autogen.sh complains about libtool:

So what do you think. Will updating libtool solve the problem?

Best regards,
Yavor

Updating libtool won't solve your problem, but updating buildroot might solve this issue.
If you don't want a complete update of buildroot, you can also try to apply theses patches :
