OE Pi2 desktop works

A quick progress report. The build in OpenEmbedded for the Raspberry Pi2 went well and I imported the binary packages into woofQ and created an SD-card image.

Got a desktop, however needs a lot more work.

Some old PETs used in the build, do not work. "ldd" reports that they are "not executable". This is a problem I have had before, do not understand why. With x86, old binary executables can be used, usually without any problem as long as shared library APIs haven't changed.
However, not so with ARM, even though they are all compiled for armv7.

This problem means that I will have to recompile a lot of packages. That is, packages that have not yet been imported into OE.
