(Link to archived message: <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2023-11/msg00047.html>.) If I unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH on my system, I don't have the issue any more. The "ld.so" man page says that DT_RPATH is deprecated. (I also found various old mailing list messages saying the same thing.) This may be a PEBKAC on my side, as I shouldn't have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set as a matter of course. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2017-05/msg00001.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2007-10/msg00056.html
