AFAIK, there are strong security concerns. You cannot have unprotected
directories in the default linker paths.
rpath exists for a reason. Use it. We even have an rpath editor,
package chrpath, for programs that don't use it automatically when you
tell them they're not going to be installed in a *default* system
directory like /usr/local/{bin,sbin,lib}.
Actually, we usually use it to *remove* bogus rpath, but hey, it would
be a poor tool if it couldn't be used to add a proper rpath :)
