I've hit this some time ago when I started playing with GCC 4.4 on Solaris. I 
don't remember exactly, but I have a faint memory the conversations that I 
found back then were along the line of "RPATH is evil - It is not! - It is, you 
might need to move the libs one day. - So let's use $ORIGIN. - Rubbish!" At the 
end, I opted for including the GCC lib path in crle, which seemed easier than 
messing with the GCC specs.

I never investigated how this is dealt with on other platforms, but I think the 
fact that runpath is inherited with each link (rather than reset clean as on 
Solaris) may play its role?
