This link line:

does not match this file:

> libkernel.la: http://www.tsunanet.net/~tsuna/eldk-libtool-problem/libkernel.la

because $libdir is empty in the latter, but -rpath is listed in the
former.

That's not the only (or important, FWIW) issue here, though.  The
installed libstdc++.la file is broken.  Reason for that include
bugs/limitations in Libtool, bugs in GCC, and possibly in the script
that has been used to build it.  (AFAIK there is a related GCC bug
listed in their bugzilla, not sure if it was 5291 and no, please
don't expect me to do an analysis of your particular issue; if I had
the time to do that, I'd be working on the GCC bug.)

Anyway the libdir should match the final location of the file, not
some $DESTDIR-prefixed temporary location.  Likewise for entries in
dependency_libs.

Hope that helps at least a little bit.

Cheers,
Ralf
