I'm not really convinced by the arguments that rpath should be discouraged wholesale. That seems like pessimistic/paranoid advice. It's very useful for people distributing executables to vendor their libraries and for that to take precedence over the default loader paths. I see the argument for setgid/setuid binaries. That's a better argument against setgid/setuid permissions (doubly so if they're not statically linked) than against rpath.
