Using -rpath/-R is the norm for Solaris packages. Samba
already is built with knowledge of where it is installed
and where its lib, data, var, etc directories reside.
What is _not_ the norm, is having to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in
order for your applications to work. Take a look at all
the packages at sunfreeware.com - they are all built for
/usr/local and, at least from hundred or so packages I've
installed from there, none require LD_LIBRARY_PATH to work
when their libraries are in /usr/local/lib.
I had the plan to provide the option of linking with an
rpath as a configure option. But it is not so easy to get
it right for all supported platforms (Nicholas only mentioned
solaris and Linux...). And I did not have the time yet to
complete this in an upstream compliant manner.
Patches welcome!!
To be more concrete:
I suggest adding a configure option "--enable-rpath"
that adds the appropriate LDFLAGS when appropriate for the
build system (e.g. solaris and linux for a start) and
gives notice when the system is unsupported (for rpath).
Yes, it if is not on be default, then having a knob to enable
it is the next best thing.

http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=6850dc242b010bdcef5e427e51be04201f55b7f3
for what has already been in the sources and has been removed.
By the way: It is not strictly necessary to modify the sources to
create binaries linked with an rpath: By setting an appropriate
"LDFLAGS" environment variable containing an RPATH option before
calling configure, you can use an RPATH option for your install
without modifying the sources, since the configure script picks
up any externally set LDFLAGS and CFLAGS settings! ... :-)
That is nice to know too.
