Those "linking" commands are in the end executed by the
buildlink2 wrappers (cc, ld) so they can on-the-fly convert -{R,rpath} to
whatever the opsys needs.

Right now the buildlink2 framework adds
'-Wl,${_OPSYS_RPATH_NAME}${LOCALBASE}/lib' if USE_RPATH is yes
or can strip off any -{R,rpath} if it is not (see no-rpath
command in mk/buildlink2/gen-transform.sh).

It's only a matter of adding a "canonicalize-rpath" command to gen-transform.sh
and trigger it when appropriate via defs.*.mk setting and bsd.buildlink2.mk
