Add the following line to your host.def file:

#define UseRpath YES

The main objection to rpath that I see is that it is searched before
the sysadmin and user overrides.  Personally I would find it more
useful as a fallback, searched after ld.so.cache and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
On Solaris, at least, LD_LIBRARY_PATH will override a built-in -R
path.  But everyone has their own ideas and preferences on things
like this.  The defaults we use appear to be reasonably well
accepted, and now it is easy to build with a different choice if
you don't like the defaults.
