Title: config.rpath returns the wrong lib search path on 64bit machines (x86_64)
Submitter: Robert Szabo

Subsys: Build/Installation
Version: 2.26.3
System: x86-Linux-Centos5 (5.3)
Severity: major
Problem:
configure figures out the right sys_lib_search_path_spec and sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec but then runs 'sh ./config/config.rpath' which does not take into account the (,usr)/lib64 lib search path on x86_64 and eventually returns this, overriding the correct paths: 

------------------------------8<----------------------------------
# How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
acl_cv_wl=""


# Static library suffix (normally "a").
acl_cv_libext="a"


# Shared library suffix (normally "so").
acl_cv_shlibext=""


# Flag to hardcode $libdir into a binary during linking.
# This must work even if $libdir does not exist.
acl_cv_hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=""


# Whether we need a single -rpath flag with a separated argument.
acl_cv_hardcode_libdir_separator=""


# Set to yes if using DIR/libNAME.so during linking hardcodes DIR into the
# resulting binary.
acl_cv_hardcode_direct="no"


# Set to yes if using the -LDIR flag during linking hardcodes DIR into the
# resulting binary.
acl_cv_hardcode_minus_L="no"


# Compile-time system search path for libraries
acl_cv_sys_lib_search_path_spec="/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib"


# Run-time system search path for libraries
acl_cv_sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib /usr/lib"


------------------------------8<----------------------------------

libtool will want to link the 64bit objects against 32bit libraries..

Fix:
excluding the section "checking for shared library run path origin... " from configure seems to solve the linking problem.
