[Buildroot] [git commit] package/python-iptables: try known libc instead of find_library()

[Yann E. MORIN]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=90c18ab269c600ee7643f69212713ee3b74c38bd
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

ctypes.util.find_library() depends on gcc and friends to detect the location of
a given shared library. Given that these are not available on the target and
that python-iptables depends on this functionality we need to work around this.
The SONAMEs of the libc are well known so we try the known ones for glibc,
uClibc and musl.

+Subject: [PATCH] Add separate mechanism to load libc
+
+ctypes.util.find_library() always returns None for systems which do not have the
+tools installed to determine the location of a given shared library (i.e.
+ldconfig, gcc, objdump). If find_libary() fails attempt to load known libc by
+SONAME.
