It's worse than that: on my setup, the patch you committed didn't work
because the -Wl,--rpath-link option was in TARGET_LDFLAGS, and so was
part of the LD variable, leading to ./configure failures when trying to
detect available libraries.

Can you just send the patch you intend to commit, so that I can test
before ?

Thanks a lot for caring about this issue !
