Doesn't Libtool solve this problem?  That is, if you installed the
Libtool archive `libguile.la' and link _using Libtool_ against it, then
passing `-L/my/guile/path/lib' is enough and Libtool sets up the new
library's RPATH correspondingly.

Granted, you don't necessarily use Libtool, and the `.la' file could be
unavailable, but that's another story...

Thanks,
Ludovic.
