Package: libtool
Version: 1.5.22-4
Severity: minor

Hi Kurt, :-)

Debian libtool does not set rpath for libraries and binaries which are
going to be installed in the standard locations ($prefix/lib,
$prefix/bin).  It does set it when cross compiling, though, to
"/usr/$arch/{lib,bin}".

In practice this is not a problem, because that directory will not exist
on the target for which the compilation is performed (if it has a
compiler at all, the one for that architecture will not be a
cross-compiler).  However, it is still incorrect.

I've seen this in combination with automake, and the bug may be there.
If so, please reassign. :-)
