Yep. Sorry, but Libtool doesn't support $ORIGIN yet. Currently, the best bet for relocatable packages with Libtool is using the relocatable* modules from gnulib on top. For adding $ORIGIN support to Libtool, one of the first questions to address is how to degrade gracefully on systems that do not provide such a feature. The next is to research in which ways $ORIGIN support in systems that do have it, differ. (IIRC Solaris and GNU/Linux were quite similar, but there are more?) The practical question of there being quite a few places in the ltmain script that currently assume absolute paths, is a different matter, but I think that can be fixed straightforwardly once we are firm on the desired semantics.
