I fully agree [but this needs to be addressed upstream]
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=.*|hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=""|g' libtool
sed -i 's|^runpath_var=LD_RUN_PATH|runpath_var=DIE_RPATH_DIE|g' libtool

Perhaps we could make common cause with RH to apply pressure on the
libtool maintainers?
Isn't this a property which can be set at build time? I mean: isn't  
there a $OSNAME case where this can be set for a specific OS? So it  
boil down to just set those two variables accordingly in the FreeBSD  
case and to send a patch to the libtool maintainers. For Linux this  
isn't doable, as there are many Linux distros out there, but for  
FreeBSD we can do this. But this should be tested on pointyhat first,  
I think.
Bye,
Alexander.
