RPATH issue on SLES

[JohnWestlund]

I haven't fully dug into this, but in my SLES build I'm seeing the following error:

[ 124s] calling /usr/lib/rpm/brp-suse.d/brp-35-rpath
[ 124s] ERROR: RPATH "/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/genders-1.22/src/libgenders/.libs" on /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/genders-ohpc-1.22-18.1.x86_64/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Libgenders/Libgenders.so is not allowed

Probably not ideal to have RPATH pointing back to the build directory.

Perl extensions are not built through the normal automake system, so this was a hack I did to get it to work. Is this only a warning or is it a flat out build error?

[JohnWestlund]

Yeah, I noticed it gets built during make install. It's not a fatal compiler error, but the SUSE post build checks are very picky. I can probably turn this one off, but it is pointing out something less than ideal. Here's more context:

This is what is generating the error: brp-35-rpath

But as you can see things aren't fully mature, the check above got removed upstream: brp-20-check-la
