chrpath is something we require users to install on the system they're building on. The reason is that we need to relocate the native recipes and you can't do that without chrpath. You can't build chrpath without building a native recipe you need to stage to change its own RPATH. Now there are a variety of ways we can deal with this but we need to think it through. At the very least such a change would need to adjust all the documentation about the prerequisites. I'm not actually sure we need to deal with larger RPATHs in the real world either. There are some bugs we're finding now the call is failing but they're not turning out to be due to that.
