Alex, i found this description on the web -:
"Because the executable that libtool creates (.libs/ld-new) is meant to be installed, but when you want to run it in the build directory you want to make sure that it finds the shared libraries in the build directory, not the ones that may be installed earlier. To achieve this, libtool relinks the binary with a special set of --rpath options pointing into the build directory. This is done everytime the actual binary is rebuilt. There is an option to libtool (--disable-fast-install) that tells it to do the relinking at install time, and the binary in the build directory is built with the appropriate --rpath options in the first place. All this is required because --rpath has precedence over LD_LIBRARY_PATH. On systems were it doesn't libtool just uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH to achieve the same effect."
