To test this out, I changed the patch to read
   (if (string=? compiler "clang")
        (list "-Wl,-z,origin")
        (list "-z origin"))

After recompiling, and reinstalling, 'gmake check' passed without a hitch!

So assuming it works in gcc/FreeBSD as well (didn't have the time to try it), 
csc.scm should probably be changed to read:
    (if (and deployed (eq? (software-version) 'freebsd))
         (list "-Wl,-z,origin")
         '())

However, I keep wondering how the version compiled without '-z origin' managed 
to pass the deployment test at all, if in fact '-z origin' is really necessary 
in order for the deployed application to find the necessary files.   Is the 
test really testing this adequately, in other words, would an application have 
failed under "real-world" conditions despite passing the test?

Thanks,
J. Altfas.
