Packagers don't really want or need to modify their 'ld' settings with the '-R' option. Or really install in the same path as the destination system for packaging. Is the ld -R option only temporary; or does this add an entry in the ld.so.cache for future reference? Sorry, I'm a bit ignorant and have been out of touch. The bigger issue may be having the libraries actually being installed in a shared area known by ld on the destination system, as oppose to HARD CODING or RE-CONFIGURING ld to accept a new location.... hmmm.... The '-rpath' option would cause issues if a third party developed tools that linked to libnetapi.so in the normal way of using '-lnetapi'... causing confusion when porting to another platform where the libraries may/could be located elsewhere. The -R option looks harmless enough; but, packagers (RPM, etc) might take notice of ld not operating correctly after building a package for release.
