Why don't we have the same problem already, with the build path for
libstdc++-v3 being encoded into libjava?

Or do we?

Would this solve the problem? :-)

What exactly gets encoded into the library being built on a perverse 
system?  Its own pathname?  The pathnames of shared libraries it links 
to?  Both of the above?  For each case, is it one path or a list of 
paths?
