True, true. Hmmm. At some time it changed from rpath-link to rpath. Dunno
what happened. I hope the rpath doesn't break anything seriously, because I
am not going to recompile everything and upload it just for that. I have
just finished a bunch of deb packages (including bash and shellutils and
fileutils is under way).
I will change this here on my system to your suggestion:

Something I can live with. I don't want to cross compile for the rest of my
life :) Too much problems, even with gnu software. I willnot even start
complaining about non-gnu stuff.. *yick*.
Have fun!
