    The magic that -R invokes is part of the elf standard.  With a lot
of finesse, it's even technically possible to rewrite this section
of the binary (possible, but non-trivial; I'm aware of no code that
does so).

    If your vendors linker doesn't do RPATH, but your using an ELF
system, GNU's linker may be able to help you.
