I am slightly fuzzy on this, but I see -R as the traditional way, which
works most places, and -rpath as the new way.   It is/was normal to
write -R/usr/pkg/lib just like -L/usr/pkg/lib, but with -rpath you may
need a space.

If you do a test build on a normal OS like NetBSD in addition to macOS
(surely you don't have a system that is Darwin but not macOS and I have
not heard of any Darwin activity for years, but if so that's very
interesting), and it works ok, then that seems fine.
