No other package that I know of use toolexeclib_LTLIBRARIES. In the
context of Buildroot, we have 800+ packages, many of which are
libraries, and it is really the first time that I see
toolexeclib_LTLIBRARIES being used.
Moreover, the libffi.pc being installed is anyway inconsistent with
this bizarre installation location. So definitely, something must be
fixed. Either the installation location, or the libffi.pc file. As it
is now, many packages fail to link with libffi due to this
inconsistency.
Best regards,
Thomas
