package/xfsprogs: fix static build

xfsprogs links to some libraries from util-linux. Those in turn may use
i18n functions when locales are enabled.

When doing a uClibc build, those i18n functions are provided by the
libintl library from the gettext package.

xfsprogs does not use pkgconfig to find the util-linux libraries, so it
misses the Requires.private field from libblkid, and thus misses the
Libs.private field from libuid.

And so a static link fails because of undefined references to i18n
symbols.

Furthermore, xfsprogs does not use automake; the hand-made Makefiles do
not make use of the LIBS variable set by configure.

We fix that in two ways:

  - pass LIBS=-lintl to configure, so that the configure step has a
    chance to succeed  (as suggested by Waldemar)

  - patch a Makefile to link with EXTRALIBS, and pass EXTRALIBS via
    XFSPROGS_MAKE_OPTS

+Subject: [PATCH] build: add EXTRALIBS to link with
+
+When doing a uClibc static build, the build fails to link:
+    http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/503/50314716a9f72e8bb238e52e9dc342c68f7e0b8b/build-end.log
+
+The cause is due to:
+  - xfsprogs links dome programs with util-linux' libblkid
+  - util-linux' libblkid is linked to util-linux' libuuid
+  - util-linux' libuuid uses i18n functions when locales are enabled
+  - uClibc does not provide i18n functions
+  - i18n functions are provided by libintl from libintl from gettext
+
+util-linux installs pkg-config files for thos two libs. However,
+xfsprogs does not use pkg-config to find libblkid or libuuid, thus it
+misses the Libs.private field from libuid.
+
+In this case, it is necessary to pass LIBS=-lintl at configure time, so
+that configure correctly finds libblkid.
+
+Still, this is not enough, because the build will not use LIBS during
+the link phase.
+
+We fix that last bit by adding EXTRALIBS to the libraries to link with,
+so that it is possible to pass EXTRALIBS=-lintl at build time:
+
+    $ ./configure [...] LIBS=-lintl
+    $ make EXTRALIBS=-lintl
