Sergio Prado 49dd099650 traceroute: fix 'no rule to make target -lm' error
Fix the following build error:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target '-lm', needed by 'traceroute'.

Fixes:

http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/4efb67e6a29c3dd784676d30a1051f9f0c2a6c80

And many more...

As explained by Arnout, this happens when host-make is built (E.G.  when
glibc is built on a machine with an old make version) because the traceroute
Makefiles have a target with a dependency on -lm, and make automatically will
look in make's $prefix/lib directory for libm.so / libm.a to satisfy this
dependency.  From the make info pages:

   When a prerequisite's name has the form '-lNAME', 'make' handles it
specially by searching for the file 'libNAME.so', and, if it is not
found, for the file 'libNAME.a' in the current directory, in directories
specified by matching 'vpath' search paths and the 'VPATH' search path,
and then in the directories '/lib', '/usr/lib', and 'PREFIX/lib'
(normally '/usr/local/lib', but MS-DOS/MS-Windows versions of 'make'
behave as if PREFIX is defined to be the root of the DJGPP installation
tree).

Our host-make is configured with prefix=$(HOST_DIR), and $(HOST_DIR)/lib
does not contain libm.so / libm.a, causing make to error out.

Work around it by pointing VPATH to $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib, so make will
find the (target) libm.so / libm.a.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
