Currently the .so produced by MakeMaker-generated makefiles come
with an empty rpath. This can cause some weird problems with
recent glibcs. So I propose the following path to MakeMaker,
that tests if LD_RUN_PATH is empty, and if it is, doesn't include
an rpath in the produced .so file.
It will break things for people who hack the LD_RUN_PATH in the
generated Makefile, but these people are evil anyway.
Patch against bleadperl. It will be most probably included in
Mandrakelinux anyway.
