Sure. It might need some severe patching, though.

I do not see why it should. It's only relevant a compile time. The real
libs are in /usr/lib, where the linker will find them later, and rpath
is not involved. (The openmpi package has used that setup since
forever.)
Anyway, I'm OK with patching the rules file as well. Time spent on
arguing can be better spent elsewhere. ;)
Best regards,
