Why are we building insmod.static for native anyway? That seems a bit
silly.
It is. FWIW, Poky now patches the modutils-cross recipe so it only
builds the dynamically linked version to resolve exactly this issue.
I'd rather just have insane check for glibc-static and not have an extra
patch we need to carry around. I know everytime I install OE on a Fedora
based machine, I spend a few minutes remembering why modutils-native
does not build.
Having a reminder to install glibc-static if needed would really help
the new user experience for people using Fedora. I'd like to see
Holger's change go in.
