Cmake has two rpaths: CMAKE_BUILD_RPATH and CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH.
Because some packages need to run executables inside the work
directory while building, so CMAKE_BUILD_RPATH theoretically lets you
do that without the old LD_LIBRARY_PATH trick.

I *think* this should work for most packages:

CMAKE_ARGS+=    -DCMAKE_BUILD_RPATH="${BUILDLINK_DIR}"
CMAKE_ARGS+=    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH="${PREFIX}"
