+Subject: [PATCH] ac_add_search_path.m4: keep consistent between 32bit and 64bit
+
+With configure option "--with-openssl=${STAGING_EXECPREFIXDIR}", it behaves
+differently between 32bit and 64bit system as the openssl lib resides under
+/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-wrs-linux/net-snmp/5.9-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/lib64
+for 64bit system, but resides under [1] for 32bit system.
+
+So add the patch to fix the gap between 32bit and 64bit system.
+
+[1] /build/tmp/work/corei7-64-wrs-linux/net-snmp/5.9-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/lib
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [configuration specific]
