There is also a bug report against rpmlint about $ORIGIN rpaths:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436486

I'm not qualified to say whether this is something that should be fixed in 
rpmlint (and if, exactly how), or is it right in complaining about it.  
/usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths-worker does have some documentation; it appears to 
accept $ORIGIN after other rpaths.  The packaging guidelines do not mention 
anything special about $ORIGIN rpaths.  Could someone who knows about this 
more comment?
