Nice, thanks the reports (although it’s a bit daunting ;-)).

I think there are two things to do:

  1. Identify the reasons why these things aren’t in the RUNPATH:
     missing -L?  ld-wrapper bug (introduced in last ‘core-updates’?)?

  2. Add a standard phase in gnu-build-system.scm, based on (guix elf),
     that checks whether things in DT_NEEDED can actually be found among
     the directories in DT_RUNPATH, and errors out if not.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
