Right, but wrong also... What we want is that when compiling we do not
hardcode in the executable any directory that is searched by default, so
that at runtime, if ld.so.conf was changed in the meantime (while the
libraries were moved accordingly), we find the right library in its new
place...

They looked in LD_LIBRARY_PATH before -rpath I think...
