I have a shell script that will recursively copy and rewrite the rpaths of every shared-object that all elf files in a sub-directory reference to bundle it up. It obviously can't handle dlopen(), and ld-linux cannot be specified as a relative-path to the executable, but it works for many binaries. Of course that has the problem that vendoring always has; you have pinned every dependency, which is great for making the software work, but you miss out on security updates.
