Reading various Linux documentation and even the Wikipedia entry
for RPATH suggests that the problem is generic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpath#GNU_ld.so
perhaps some folks can confirm whether this is needed on Redhat/Fedora,
Debian/Ubuntu, SuSE, Gentoo, ...
Where the RUNPATH kludge is needed the flag is I think important,
since otherwise upgrade builds will run-time link with installed
libraries from an older release in preference to the build's
libraries (potential problem with invocations of postconf during
build/install).
