I agree that the default option in the tools/Makefile should be
linking with /lib/liblvm.so.
The additional rpath is helpful during development but as LVM
is now delving in a user environment this should no longer be the
default option.

No. This defeats the purpose: Build a new library and have all
tools use it (overriding the installed one) without having to
install a development library.
The -rpath $(TOP)/tools/lib should not be part of the default
build options.
