Nitin A Kamble 068417289a image-mklibs.bbclass: add the library optimization functionality

If you want to enable the mklibs library size optimization for your image
then, edit the MKLIBS_OPTIMIZED_IMAGES line in the local.conf like this:

  MKLIBS_OPTIMIZED_IMAGES ?= "poky-image-minimal your-own-image"

Also this will enable the mklibs library size optimization for all images.

  MKLIBS_OPTIMIZED_IMAGES ?= "all"

on qemux86 machine this reduced the rootfs size of poky image-minimal
image from 7.9MB to 7.2MB. That is around 11% image foot print reduction.
That image had 38 elf executables. Generally the size optimization by
mklibs is reversely proportional to the number of elf executables in the
rootfs. So bigger images will see less optimization, and smaller images
will see large image size reductions.

Thanks to mark hatle for his help in implementation of this.

README

Poky

Poky platform builder is a combined cross build system and development environment. It features support for building X11/Matchbox/GTK based filesystem images for various embedded devices and boards. It also supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Poky has an extensive handbook, the source of which is contained in the handbook directory. For compiled HTML or pdf versions of this, see the Poky website http://pokylinux.org.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware.
