Libtool was introduced to the package by pkgsrc patches, so we can only
blame ourselves.

On the other hand, the software does things in an (IMO) unusual way:
It supports INSTALL_ROOT (= our DESTDIR), but prefixes every variable
with it _right from the start_ so the value of INSTALL_ROOT is also
used while constructing linker flags, which is clearly wrong in the case
of RPATH flags.

I will be looking for ways to remove the INSTALL_ROOT value where
necessary.
