This is wrong. Not everybody wants RPATHs randomly added, the path
could be already searched by the dynamic linker, or it can be configured
against libgmp etc. in one path only to be later on moved to some path where
it will be searched by the dynamic linker.
So, whether to use -Wl,-rpath or not (you aren't testing at all whether
the compiler and linker support -Wl,-rpath, e.g. if you don't use gcc as
the initial compiler, it might not work, or if your linker doesn't) should
be decided based on configure options.
