It is an RPATH issue. I spotted '-rpath /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' in
the libtool invocation. [1]

Interestingly, the call to ./configure specified '--disable-rpath' but
was not successful. It seemed to resemble an issue in opendkim [2].
Perhaps this Debian doc about the topic [3] is helpful to you.

Kind regards
