I suspect _that_ problem occurred because it's trying to link against a
module built from the same source, which is not yet installed. So it
uses -rpath <builddir> for libtool to find the .lai, and the .lai (which
is the installed version of a .la with all paths fixed to final
destinations) tells it it's going to be in /usr/lib, so it embedds
/usr/lib into your file, but actually gives "-L $(kde_moduledir)
-lkbibtexpart -rpath $(destination_according_to_.lai_file)" or simiar to gcc.

Or at least I _think_ that's how it goes.

I'd suggest the actual problem is libtool should drop the '-rpath' part
of the gcc call when the value for -rpath is /lib, /usr/lib, or
/usr/local/lib.

Assuming I'm right as to the problem.

Makefile.in is only generated if using automake, in whcih case it is
as follows.

Otherwise, the .in file is not generated, but processed by configure
into a Makefile mainly by variable substitution.

You can tell an automake-generated Makefile.in because it'll make you
cry like a small child if you accidentally view it in a text editor.
