libtool deals with this properly, and does so on a large number of
systems.

How many operating systems lack a chrpath implementation?

Forcing static is an interesting question, but running tests with
dynamic linking and no chrpath seems to always leads to testing the
wrong code.  So that just should not happen.   Whether you want to say
"can't run tests" or "can't dynamically link" is a tougher call, but
"can't dynamically link" is probably better.

alternatives would be

  use libtool

  link for tests and relink on make install

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH hackery

  port chrpath enough places to not care
