Well, not having a rpath should not break things at runtime, unless a
custom rpath is really necessary. But I'm pretty sure in those cases,
the custom rpath will be wrong as it will point to some location on the
build machine.

What would be good is to understand why in certain situations libtool
decides to set a rpath and not in other cases.
