This happens when libraries are referenced that are not in the default
library location of this package’s output directory.

In the package for R we have a similar situation and fix it by passing
these make flags:

       #:make-flags
       (list (string-append "LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath="
                            (assoc-ref %outputs "out")
                            "/lib/R/lib"))

This adds the “/lib/R/lib” directory to the RUNPATH, so that references
to these libraries can be properly embedded.
