-rpath is not accepted by "cc", so it requires -Wl prepended.  On the other
hand, -R can be passed directly to "cc" (so this is what I'd recommend
using, also in <bsd.prog.mk>).

The inspiration for having "cc" accept "-R" directly comes from SysV,
specifically Solaris, whose "cc" also accepts it directly.  There are quite
a few gcc targets now that accept "-R" on the "cc" command line.
