--disable-rpath does not work for me

[Chris Frey]

Hi,

I am trying to create a configure / autotools setup for my package
in which the --disable-rpath option avoids any hardcoded rpaths in
the final program output.

I have a simple testcase that I'd like to get this working in:

        http://pages.netdirect.ca/~cdfrey/disable-rpath-0.1.tar.gz

I'd like to be able to compile it and install it into a directory
such as /tmp/libtestcase, such that /tmp/libtestcase/bin/testcase
has no RPATH setting.

The --disable-rpath option looks promising.  Unfortunately, in
packages that include it, I can't seem to get it working.

Am I on the right track?  Or is --disable-rpath meant for something else?
What changes should I make to the above testcase to achieve
rpath-less installs?

Thanks!
- Chris
