ECL does not use rpath. The "guessing" of how it works is still in the autoconf logic, but it is not used by the program itself. > I've added the ECL list to cc:. While I can easily remove the rpath as > explained at [3], I'll wait for upstream's voice :-) As I said, we stopped using rpath some time ago. Any traces of it should probably be removed but we are not in a hurry because those flags are not used by the ECL compiler / linker. Adding the rpath flag for platforms or users that consider it useful is not difficult and can be done via LDFLAGS at configuration time.
