poky-extract-sdk: allow relative paths for extract-dir
psuedo needs a full path to its pid file, so convert
relative extract-dir paths to full ones.
The symptom of this bug is receiving the following error:
pseudo: Couldn't open relative/path/to/var/pseudo/pseudo.pid: No such file or directory
This fixes [BUGID #670]

scripts/poky-qemu: Improve tmp layout assumption
If someone has changed TMPDIR in local.conf to a non-standard location, the
poky-qemu script currently doesn't handle this and assumes if BUILDDIR is set,
$BUILDDIR/tmp will exist.
Its simple to check if this exists and if not, to ask bitbake where the
directory is so this patch changes the code to do that.

openssl-native: disable execstack flag to prevent problems with SELinux
The execstack flag gets set on libcrypto.so by default which causes SELinux
to prevent it from being loaded on systems using SELinux, which includes
Fedora. This patch disables the execstack flag. (Note: Red Hat do this in
their openssl packaging.)

Name: Laverne
Version: 4.0.1
Built from Revision: fd7a07b3a2153826bedda2ef76b9a33ab2791680
Build Date: Jan 26 2011
Builder: autobuilder.pokylinux.org
The Laverne 4.0.1 Release ensures you can use Poky Laverne on systems running
Fedora 14 and Opensuse 11.3, fixes issues with the poky-qemu script, and fixes
several other bugs. For the full changelog for Laverne 4.0.1 please read
CHANGELOG.
Following are descriptions of fixes and known issues.
Fixes
------------------------
* Make 3.82, as shipped with Fedora 14, included parser bug fixes that
resulted in a much stricter parser. As a result, the Makefiles could not be
parsed for many of the software versions shipped with Laverne. The Makefiles
in the following recipes were fixed:
o eglibc
o busybox
o procps
o linux-libc-headers
o gstreamer
o gst-plugins
o libowl-av
o owl-video-widget
o dates
o contacts
o web-webkit
* The ability to build openssl-native on a system that has SELINUX enabled
was restored. (We disabled the execstack flag at compile time.)
* A host-intrusion issue caused by a failure in QEMU to find zlib headers
during configure was fixed. The issue was causing qemu-native to use the
system zlib if it was present. If the system zlib was not present the build
would fail.
* Stability and usability enhancements, which included handling relative
filesystem paths, were made to poky-qemu scripts.
* The run-time remapping of package names when adding extra packages to an
image via the IMAGE_INSTALL mechanism were fixed.
* The configure test in quilt for GNU patch was fixed to that it correctly
detects the version.
Known Issues
------------------------
* The mpc3815e-rbd and routerstationpro machines were untested and not a
part of the official Laverne 4.0 release. These machines are still unusable
for this Laverne 4.0.1 release.
o mpx3815e-rdb will not boot due to a kernel/uboot issue Bug #685
o routerstation will not boot (by default) due to incorrect boot
parameters Bug #681
o routerstationpro debug messages related to the ethernet driver print
during boot Bug #679
* Shutdown/poweroff on qemuarm does not cleanly halt the virtual machine.
To workaround this issue use the reboot command. Using this command avoids
a "power-cycle" and instead cleanly shuts down the VM Bug #684
* Two "Connection Manager" icons appear in the Sato UI. This duplication has
been fixed in master. Note that you can use either icon to launch the
connectivity UI. Bug #683
* The on-screen keyboard incorrectly launches in the qemumips machine. This
issue is due to a mis-configured formfactor file Bug #682
