[poky] Problem populating rootfs with a binary only recipe

[Kroll, Scott]

I have a recipe for NVIDIA display drivers written that simply fetches
the drivers, compiles a kernel module, and populates some
(unfortunately) binary only libraries. The RPMs created work just
fine, but when generating the root filesystem, an issue crops up due
to a "missing" dependency.

The drivers provide a libGL.so.325.15, which eventually becomes the
symlinked libGL.so (at least in the -dev package). However, one of the
required libraries in the NVIDIA package depends directly on libGL.so
instead of libGL.so.325.15, so when the root filesystem population is
to occur, the RPM refuses to install because no package provides
libGL.so.

Is there any way to handle this sort of situation? I'm not against
overriding the packaging of libGL.so since the target system is going
to only have a particular NVIDIA chipset inside of it, and since CUDA
is being used, the official NVIDIA drivers are required. I've looked
all over but it seems that no matter what the naked unversioned
libraries will never end up on the target. I was even considering
modifying the binary itself to depend on libGL.so.325.15 instead,
although I have a feeling that is probably not a good idea.
