binutils-pass2: workaround "binaries link to host libraries" issue
A very old libtool copy (2009-11-29) is shipped in binutils tarball. It does not support sysroot, so the cross-built binutils binaries may link to libraries from the host distro, if certain libraries are available. The ideal solution should be updating libtool, as libtool-2.4.6 (in LFS) has sysroot support. However, updating libtool for binutils is not trivial: it would require to rerun autoconf and binutils building system sticks to autoconf-2.69. Another issue is the sysroot support for libtool has introduced a configure option "--with-sysroot", which conflicts with an already existing option with the same name in GCC and binutils building system (we are using the GCC/binutils version of --with-sysroot in chapter 5). GCC building system has --with-build-sysroot (we are using this for GCC pass 2) for this issue. Binutils copied GCC building system, but it does not respect --with-build-sysroot. So for now we just edit libtool code to prevent "-L/usr/lib" in $LFS_TGT_gcc command line. It should fix the issue about host libiberty (reported in #lfs-support) as well, but it still need to be confirmed by someone having such a host. Tested with a jhalfs run on LFS.
