#9350: boost does not use prefix for rpath
-------------------------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  Georg Sauthoff <mail@…>  |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new                      |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost           |    Version:  Boost 1.54.0
 Severity:  Problem                  |   Keywords:
-------------------------------------+------------------------------
 How to reproduce:

 {{{
 MY_PREFIX=/my/boost/target

 ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$MY_PREFIX

 ./b2 -j 14 -d+2 address-model=64 install

 ldd $MY_PREFIX/lib/libboost_filesystem.so | grep boost
    libboost_system.so.1.54.0 => NOT FOUND
 }}}

 I've observed this issue with Boost 1.52 (using the sun toolset - sun.jam)
 and with Boost 1.54 (using the gcc toolset - gcc.jam).

 It seems that boost sets the rpath to the build directory and not to the
 specified prefix (during link time).

 Expected results:

 ldd $MY_PREFIX/lib/libboost_filesystem.so | grep boost
    libboost_system.so.1.54.0 => $MY_PREFIX/lib/libboost_system.so.1.54.0

 (note that I've picked libboost_filesystem as an example - other boost
 libraries have the same issue, e.g. chrono/log/time/...)

 Currently I use a dirty workaround to have the rpath set correctly:

 The workaround for {{{tools/build/v2/tools/sun.jam}}} is similar.
