That program itself compiles a new binary.

The binary created above.  The rpath refers to the uninstalled shared libraries.

No.

None in this case; we're fine to strip all rpaths - but only *after*
the build process is complete.

Because it's Linux-specific and thus brings us back to the whole
problem libtool was supposed to solve.

Again, what I'm actually proposing here is that Fedora's build system
should by default strip all rpaths for standard paths, not that people
copy and paste my different shell goo over and over.
I'm just using my different shell goo until we can fix it globally.
