I don't think this is the required option here.

-rpath is used by libtool to denote the install location of a library. If a 
library is linked (using libtool) against the resulting libfoo.la file then 
this "install" directory will appear in the DT_RPATH of this new library.

The option to libtool's -rpath will not appear in the DT_RPATH of the 
resulting library.
