Did some web searching and code reading.  Looks like

  * rpath precedes LD_LIBRARY_PATH in GNU Libc and IRIX, 
    and maybe DIGITAL Unix.

  * LD_LIBRARY_PATH precedes rpath in Solaris.  That's why it worked
    for me.

IRIX and DIGITAL seem to have an env var _RLD_ROOT to override rpath.
A quick `grep RLD_ROOT' in `glibc/elf' didn't get any results.

Also, it is `automake' that sets -rpath, not libtool.
