This is that "standard" hack for projects that hate RPATH

This is (IMNSHO) the correct fix, and there are autoconf modules to 
determine the toolchain specific linker options, or libtool will 
correctly handle "-mode=link -rpath /some/path" arguments.

If you wanted the library found by the standard linker path, why would 
you specify its location in the configure args?
