[poky] Small Patches to Poky

[Michael Eden]

Hi all,

Forgive me because I'm new, but I'm currently I'm maintaining 2
patches to issues that I'd like to officially fix.
The first is more of a convenience and changes `cp` to `cp -f` since
I've noticed that this operation sometimes fails (if the file already
exists):

diff --git a/meta/classes/autotools.bbclass b/meta/classes/autotools.bbclass

                                if [ ! -e ${S}/po/remove-potcdate.sin ]; then

The second is more complex and I've been using the following workaround:

diff --git a/meta/classes/useradd_base.bbclass
b/meta/classes/useradd_base.bbclass
index 551c82c322..ef27ae6cae 100644
--- a/meta/classes/useradd_base.bbclass

                if test "x$user_exists" = "x"; then

The above is needed because useradd (native) depends on libattr.so.1
which is _not_ built and put in the native-sysroot.
Somewhere an attr-native dependency has to be added but I'm not sure
where since this is a class that can be inherited into many recipes.
I worked around this by installing attr on my machine and adding the
correct path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I'd appreciate help in debugging and submitting the updated useradd
class to sumo.

Best,
Michael Eden
