I remember discussions about it a long time ago, but didn't know
enough at that time and can't remember what was the conclusion.
It's odd also that the PROBLEMS file only mention LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and LD_RUN_PATH without mentioning the -R arg in LDFLAGS.

I hope somebody who knows more about how `configure' chooses the -L and -R
args could help us at least write a better entry in PROBLEMS.
