Summary:                    configure cannot find libz and usage of __USE_GNU
breaks build
Description: 
When selecting dropbear, configure is not able to find the libz in
staging_dir (Libz builds and installs ok). Defining LDFLAGS before running
configure solve this problem for me (see patch).

But than the compilation failed because of undefined structs in stdio.h.
This originates from the patch
"package/dropbear/dropbear-fix-missing-TIMEVAL_TO_TIMESPEC.patch" where
__USE_GNU is added. IMHO _GNU_SOURCE would be better. Anyway, the patch
seams unnecessary.
Dropbear works just fine without it.
