Details:

`Rpath is a linker option, so prefix it with -Wl. Bump revision.`
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/e2df8e9fa93385eadb629104462ef270d670b249

Patch can be merged as is but needs to be validated for correctness.

Comments from Zack W.
> The macro being changed is quite hairy and I think this is higher-risk than
it looks. -Wl, is a GCC feature (also supported by LLVM). It may be necessary
to do something cleverer here to make sure this still works with other Fortran
compilers.  Please file a bug for this one.  If you can dig up discussion of
why the change was made on the NetBSD mailing lists, commit history, etc. that
would be really helpful.

Wasn't able to find any mailing list threads related to this although I may
just be bad at tracking down information in mailing lists. Otherwise, will try
reaching out to the author and see if he can provide additional context.
