I reported this problem in 2006 (PR 34108).

See mk/buildlink3/buildlink3.mk:

BUILDLINK_LIBDIRS.${_pkg_}?=    lib${LIBABISUFFIX}
.  if !empty(BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD.${_pkg_}:Mfull)
BUILDLINK_RPATHDIRS.${_pkg_}?=  ${BUILDLINK_LIBDIRS.${_pkg_}}
.  else
BUILDLINK_RPATHDIRS.${_pkg_}?=  # empty
.  endif
.endfor


LIBABISUFFIX is set to 64 in mk/platform/Linux.mk.  So  
BUILDLINK_RPATHDIRS.${_pkg_} has lib64, and later ${BUILDLINK_PREFIX.$ 
{_pkg_}}/BUILDLINK_RPATHDIRS.${_pkg_} is added to BUILDLINK_LDFLAGS.

So the problem occurs when one of the dependencies is a native library  
and it is buildlinked (e.g., zlib on Linux).

Sorry, no idea.
