In my case, apr is being installed to a non-standard location (under
/opt) with some enterprise management tools (e.g. Ganglia). Therefore,
-L is required, and the gmond binaries (e.g. gmond) use the RPATH to
find apr.

What about the special case of creating 32 bit libs for an amd64
install? In this case, the 32 bit libs go under /usr/lib32 or something
similar (opposite to Redhat, which puts the 64 bit libs under
/usr/lib64)
