Joachim Wiberg 81cb90804e test: include bundled helpers' libraries in the sysroot
keventd links libblkid, which finit itself does not, but sysroot.mk
only copied the libraries finit links.  Inside the sysroot keventd
then fails to start:

    Service keventd[18] died (exit status: 127)

Collect libraries from finit and everything installed under
libexec/finit/ instead.

Note

Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.

For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
