I think what Leon is referring to is where different hardware
capabilities are checked. In Poky I ended up disabling this as at least
on ARM there were an insane number of different combinations of paths
being checked for. The patch I added to disable it was:

http://svn.o-hand.com/view/poky/trunk/meta/packages/glibc/files/no-hwcaps.patch?rev=5087&view=markup

I've not seen bad RPATH values for quite a while now.
