That is exactly what I was thinking as well.  I created the automake scripts myself, they all behave well
when I build project the 'the old-fashion' way - i.e. doing the configure and make manually.
The project is building in Buildroot without any problem.  I'm moving towards yocto now.  So I really need to understand 
what yocto does differently so that I can adapt my automake scripts.

Anyway, I could just disable the QA checks for RPATH - but this is not the way I like to work.
