RPATH status

[Miroslav Lichvar]

I've noticed that there are still many binaries in /usr/bin that have
RPATH hardcoded in them.

On a x86_64 full installation there are 470 binaries with /usr/lib64
in RPATH. That looks like a lot of work to have this fixed and
maintained. Maybe a chrpath script could be used in the build process,
and remove automatically the obvious cases like /usr/lib64,
/usr/local/lib and @RPATH@ ?

470 /usr/lib64
