This requires that libtool re-link upon installation if the temporary 
rpaths are not wanted.  If the temporary rpaths are left in place, 
then reliability, performance, and security issues are left baked into 
the binaries.

Are these problems introduced by the new binutils version or were they 
already present?  It is foolish for binutils to introduce changes 
which break libtool or which cause binutils programs to output 
irritating messages.
