Because in those cases it is reasonable to assume that the executable will run in the same environment in which it is being linked (with sysroot the -rpath refers to directories within the sysroot, at least I hope it does). So basically in those cases -rpath is taken to imply -rpath-link. But -rpath-link will still be searched first. Ian
