Re: [bug-gnu-libiconv] rpath still set by libtool for iconv build even with disable-rpath configuration flag is set

[fred.heinecke]

Good catch. However, I get (effectively) the same results when using objdump
or readelf:

> objdump -x /tmp/build_output/usr/local/bin/iconv | grep "RUNPATH"
  RUNPATH              /tmp/build_output/usr/local/lib

> readelf -d /tmp/build_output/usr/local/bin/iconv | grep "RUNPATH"
0x000000000000001d (RUNPATH)            Library runpath:
[/tmp/build_output/usr/local/lib]

Thanks, Fred

'strings' is not a reliable way to check for an RPATH in a binary.
Instead, you need to use
  objdump -x /tmp/build_output/usr/local/bin/iconv | grep RUNPATH or
  readelf -d /tmp/build_output/usr/local/bin/iconv | grep RUNPATH
