That is, don't reject multiple runpaths if one is bad. This is needed for packages like Perl. Perls screws up rpaths and runpaths badly. Perl does not escape origin-based paths properly when setting them in a makefile. Worse, Perl builds makefiles on the fly, so we cannot manually fix the makefiles after configure. Jeff
