Hard code library loading Shortcut the search for the libraries in case the built in find_library is broken. As buildroot does not ship any of the external programs that the core procedure use to find libraries use the canonical name of the shared object and load it. In this case this affects loading libftdi and libusb. This should be reliable as we specify said libs as dependencies of this package.
