Build support for distro-independent sysexts in SDK based on Gentoo prefix
Current situation
Systemd-sysext images that are not coupled to the OS version need to contain their dependencies and show not assume something about /usr/lib
nor ship libraries in that path. They have to use /usr/local/
or /opt/
as prefix.
Impact
This requires manual installation with ./configure --prefix=
which is a bit hard to use.
Ideal future situation
Gentoo packages could be used through the prefix option that allows to install everything to a custom path. A build helper in the SDK can use this to generate version-uncoupled (even distro independent) systemd-sysext images.
