(Link to archived message:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2023-11/msg00047.html>.)

If I unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH on my system, I don't have the issue any more.

The "ld.so" man page says that DT_RPATH is deprecated.  (I also
found various old mailing list messages saying the same thing.)

This may be a PEBKAC on my side, as I shouldn't have LD_LIBRARY_PATH
set as a matter of course.
