 I don't think the compiler should pass the rpath flag down to the linker.  My 
 reasons are:
 
 	- it's different than what we do for C++ and C
 
 	- do all linkers support -rpath?  This sounds like the kind of hairyness 
 libtool was invented for.
 
 	- we can only guess where the library will be - the compiler has no way to 
 know.
 
 I think this issue is really only a minor pain for us as we hack on the 
 tools.  This will ultimately be a non-issue for end users because everything 
 will be installed correctly.
 
 I will close this PR in a few days unless somebody objects.
