However, judging from
http://www.fortran-2000.com/ArnaudRecipes/sharedlib.html (which is
perhaps a little outdated), not all system linkers take the -R option. In
fact, they all seem very different even when it comes to handling the
-soname/-h option.
I'd be happy to provide the trivial patch that changes -rpath to
-R but I'm not sure that is desirable.

Best,
