Umm, make that, it does add an rpath.  Hmm, so why do the binaries still work 
if I rename my build bfd directory ?  I am confused:

  % cd shared-build
  % mv bfd bfd-tmp-rename
  % ldd ./install/bin/objdump
  libopcodes-2.18.50.20071002.so => 
/work/builds/binutils/current/shared-build/install/lib/libopcodes-2.18.50.20071002.so 
(0x0000002a95557000)
  libbfd-2.18.50.20071002.so => 
/work/builds/binutils/current/shared-build/install/lib/libbfd-2.18.50.20071002.so 
(0x0000002a956d1000)
  libc.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0000003d51f00000)
  /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003d51d00000)

  % ldd ./install/lib/libopcodes.so
  libbfd-2.18.50.20071002.so => not found
  libc.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0000002a956e6000)
  /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000552aaaa000)

So the installed executables can find the installed libraries, but the 
installed libaries cannot find the other installed libraries.  Is this what 
should be expected ?

Cheers
