Jason Wessel 1c7472dbeb relocate_sdk.py: Fix corruption of sdk binaries
There are two cases of corruption that the relocate_sdk.py was not correctly
dealing with.

1) SDK Extras should be left alone
   Extra external binaries included in an SDK that were linked against the
   host's version of /usr/lib/ld-so.so should not get a relocation applied.
   In the case that was discovered these were LSB compliant binaries that
   already worked on many hosts.

2) If the interp section is too small generate an error
   In the case of the qemu user code, it was using its own .ld file
   to link the executables which overrides the default in the nativesdk
   binutils.  This generated host executables which had a interp section
   that was too small to relocate.

   Now the relocate_sdk.py will print an error and continue on such that
   the error can be fixed by a developer without having to do the
   difficult task of debugging why it is crashing or not loading correctly.

Poky
====

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a 
reference manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/documentation

OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.

For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
    http://www.openembedded.org/

Where to Send Patches
=====================

As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
should be sent to their respective upstreams.

bitbake:
    bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org

meta-yocto:
    poky@yoctoproject.org

Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list.  If
in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
repository.
    openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org

Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix
      of oe-core and poky-specific files.
