Albert-

I believe that's incorrect, and it's certainly contrary to how things are

That *is* correct.

It has not.  I have it directly from the loader author/maintainer that
honoring RPATH in libraries is coming to a future version of Tru64, but
it's not here yet.  I summarized about this issue on the tru64-unix-managers
