+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Play nicer with bitbake/OpenEmbedded
+
+Unconditionally adding -L$(NFSROOT)/lib to the link line risks seriously
+confusing the linker if NFSROOT is not set (which would be common when
+building OE/bitbake) because we end up trying to link against whatever
+zany things we might find in the host /lib directory). Fix this the
+obvious way.
