- Subject: RFC: Alternate names for ELF substitution sequences
I recently had to build GDB with an rpath containing "$ORIGIN" (which
has magic significance to the dynamic loader). This involved a
ludicrous and unpredictable number of backslashes.
How can we make this easier? For instance, is there a character or
sequence we are willing to sacrifice from rpaths that isn't so
shell-active? Perhaps "={": -rpath "={ORIGIN}" -> "${ORIGIN}".
