Note that we are apparently not the only ones dissatisfied with this
state of affairs.  The following code is commonly found in rpm specs for
Fedora (and, I suspect, for RedHat and CentOS as well):

sed -i 's|^hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=3D.*|hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=3D""|g'=
 libtool
sed -i 's|^runpath_var=3DLD_RUN_PATH|runpath_var=3DDIE_RPATH_DIE|g' libtool

Perhaps we could make common cause with RH to apply pressure on the
libtool maintainers?
