I understand everything that you're saying.  You are not understanding what
I'm saying.

The fact that you have to use those sed lines shows that there's something
wrong somewhere as we normally don't need them to produce rpath-free
binaries if we're using Fedora or Red Hat libtool.  Since you have the
ability to commit upstream, please fix glib2's build scripts.

If you can't figure out how to do that, you can get me a link to your srpm
that shows the issue and I'll take a look.  I've asked for that three times
now, though, so at this point it'll have to go on my todo list as I've got
other things to finish off today.
