binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath

[Gaetano Paolone <bigpaul@debian.org>]

Hi,
I am packaging php-gtk.

Lintian tells me this:

W: php-gtk: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath
./usr/lib/php4/20010901/php_gtk.so /usr/X11R6/lib
N:
N:   The binary or shared library defines the `RPATH'. Usually this is a
N:   bad thing. Most likely you will find a Makefile with a line like:
N:       gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath
N:   or
N:       gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib
N:   Please contact debian-devel@lists.debian.org if you have questions
N:   about this.

(yes I am writing to -mentoris instead! ;-) )

I already noticed that problem and wrote
to upstream author:

gcc: unrecognized option `-R/usr/X11R6/lib'

He told me that I could "safely ignore that problem".
The package seems to work in fact but it is not lintian free.
What shall I do?

TIA
Gaetano
