We sanity-check the host executables that they have a correct RPATH
pointing to the host libraries.
This is currently done by looking for all files in $(HOST_DIR) that
match the 'ELF executable' pattern (a bit more complex, but that's
idea).
However, when an executable is built with -fPIE of -fpie, it no longer
appears to be an 'ELF executable', but it rather looks like an 'ELF
sheard object' (like if it were an library.
So, we miss those files.
It turns out that the problem is a real one, because quite a few
mainline distros, expecially those based on Debian for example, have
already switched to generating PIE code by default, and thus we miss on
a whole class of systems..
We fix that by simply looking if we can find an ELF interpreter in each
file. If we there is one, this is an ELF executable; if not, it may be
anything else: we don't care (not even about ELF libraries).

Now all packages have been updated to install things in $(HOST_DIR)/lib
instead of $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib, there should no longer be any reason
to have $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib in the RPATH, so we don't allow it any more.

Since $(HOST_DIR)/usr/{bin,sbin} are now symlinks to
$(HOST_DIR)/{bin,sbin}, it makes no sense to check them - they are
already covered.

This is a step towards eliminating $(HOST_DIR)/usr. It allows us to
convert all packages installing things into $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib without
affecting the rest.
To allow compatibility with packages that still use $(HOST_DIR)/usr as
the prefix, create a symlink from usr/lib to ../lib.
Note that the symlink creation will break when $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib
already exists as a directory, i.e. when rebuilding in an existing
output directory. This is necessary: if we don't break it now, the
following commits (which remove the usr part from various variables)
_will_ break it.
At the same time as creating this symlink, we also have to update the
check-host-rpath script to accept both $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib and
$(HOST_DIR)/lib, because depending on how the package derives the
path, it may be different.
Since there are some dependency chains that involve $(STAGING_DIR),
$(STAGING_DIR) may in fact be created before $(HOST_DIR). Since
$(STAGING_DIR) is a subdirectory of $(HOST_DIR), it is possible that the
newly added rule for $(HOST_DIR) never triggers. To make sure that the
rule does trigger, add an order-only dependency from $(STAGING_DIR) to
$(HOST_DIR).

"$ORIGIN/../../usr/lib" is also a valid RPATH for binaries in
"$hostdir/usr/bin". After RPATH sanitation, all RPATH
directories start with "$ORIGIN".

Despite the comment saying so, the trailing '/' in the host directory is
not removed. Note however that it is properly removed from extracted
RPATH tags.
This is not visible when the host directory is our default $(O)/host
location, but breaks for user-supplied external host directory, when
the user leaves a trailing slash in the path.
Fix that.

When we build our host programs, and they depend on a host library we
also build, we want to ensure that program actually uses that library at
runtime, and not the one from the system.
We currently ensure that in two ways:
- we add a RPATH tag that points to our host library directory,
- we export LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to that same directory.
With these two in place, we're pretty much confident that our host
libraries will be used by our host programs.
However, it turns our that not all the host programs we build end up
with an RPATH tag:
- some packages do not use our $(HOST_LDFLAGS)
- some packages' build system are oblivious to those LDFLAGS
In this case, there are two situations:
- the program is not linked to one of our host libraries: it in fact
does not need an RPATH tag [0]
- the program actually uses one of our host libraries: in that case it
should have had an RPATH tag pointing to the host directory.
For libraries, they only need an RPATH if they depend on another library
that is not installed in the standard library path. However, any system
library will already be in the standard library path, and any library we
install ourselves is in $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib so already in RPATH.
We add a new support script that checks that all ELF executables have
a proper DT_RPATH (or DT_RUNPATH) tag when they link to our host
libraries, and reports those file that are missing an RPATH. If a file
missing an RPATH is an executable, the script aborts; if only libraries
are are missing an RPATH, the script does not abort.
[0] Except if it were to dlopen() it, of course, but the only program
I'm aware of that does that is openssl, and it has a correct RPATH tag.
