Why '-R' option doesn't support relative path?

[Brian Lu]

Hi, experts,

I need to build Ekiga on solaris, which uses libtool to do the compiling 
and linking
I need to set '$ORIGIN' in final executable RUNPATH. So user can install 
Ekiga
anywhere he likes. I uses '-R $ORIGIN' to achieve this.
But libtool told me that '-R' option doesn't support relative path.

Can someone tell me why or if there is a workaround?

Thanks

Brian
