Description Juro Bystricky 2015-11-20 23:03:21 UTC 
Created attachment 2859 [details]
patch to prevent false positive QA warnings when installing libraries into libexec.

Installing libraries into can issue multiple warnings such as:

WARNING: QA Issue: gcc-cross-canadian-i586: found library in wrong location: /opt/poky/2.0/sysroots/i686-pokysdk-linux/usr/libexec/i586-poky-elf/gcc/i586-poky-elf/4.9.3/liblto_plugin.so

[libdir]

These are false positive warning, which can be disabled via

INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "libdir"

However, this would disable also any legitimate warnings.
Instead, insane.bbclass should be updated to detect such situation and
omit the QA warning.

I attached a simple patch that fixes this, but it may not be the best solution.
