    You have three options:

    • use LDFLAGS to specify options for ld

    • create separate rules for compilation and linking, there you can parr -rpath=/what/ever to ld directly

    • use -Wl,ldoption for gcc to propagate ldoption to linker. In your case:

      gcc ... -Wl,rpath=/what/ever ...

    Note that LD_LIBRARY_PATH serves for the dynamic linker/loader (ldd) not for the linker that creates executables (ld).
