I don't think it is a task for the individual packages to deal with the
dynamic linker quirks. This is something that needs to be fixed
either on the operating system level or at the meson level.

On Linux, there's no rpath set at all and it all works. The decision
to not add default install paths to dynamic linker path was not ours,
so I don't know why we should deal with this.

Also this is more generic problem in meson build system, so it would
make sense to monkey patch the rpath there and not in every application
that uses the build system
