-rpath encodes directories in the run-time search path of an
executable, that the dynamic linker (ld.so) uses to find shared
libraries. -L tells the linker (ld) where to look for libraries
specified in the command line, at link time. -rpath-link tells the
linker (ld) where to look for dynamic libraries that are mentioned as
dependencies of other dynamic libraries that are linked. IIRC, -rpath
is the default for -rpath-link, but definitely not for -L.
