Thanks for working on this. However, this isn't the right fix for the
problem: batctl uses pkg-config to discover how to link with libnl.
It's just that the libnl .pc files were not correct in terms of static
linking handling. Fixing those .pc files is a better solution, as it 1/
can be upstreamed to libnl, 2/ avoids hacks in batctl.mk, and 3/ allows
to also removes hacks in other Buildroot packages.

See the series I have sent at
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2015-March/121180.html.

Thanks,

Thomas
