When you install, the RUNTIME_LINKER_PATH is set to LIBDIR (that's
the relinking part - the normal build uses "-R." to be able to test the
build without installing it (which may need some [DY]LD_LIBRARY_PATH
twiddling). The re-install re-invokes $(MAKE) and passes a new
RUNTIME_LIBRARY_PATH. It may be that the BSD makefile is broken
(everything works fine on Linux, at least that's my observation).
