The results of this don't look good; it seems that now _every_ library path
apart from the empty one are turned into hardwired rpaths.

For example, see the subversion-perl package in Rawhide; all the *.so in it 
contains loads of rpaths with buildroot traces
(/usr/src/build/652335-i386/BUILD/subversion-1.2.3/subversion/...)
Note that this is a security issue for practically everyone who's following good
rpm rebuilding guidelines and doing it as non-root.

Another example would be to rebuild perl-Compress-Zlib with the new perl and
witness how /usr/lib, a standard system dir, is unnecessarily stuffed into a rpath.

The buildroot traces part of the problem could probably be handled with
something like the Gentoo approach in comment 4, and the latter part by teaching
MM_Unix about standard dynamic linker paths.
