In =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 there=E2=80=99s a new =E2=80=98validate-r=
unpath=E2=80=99 phase that checks all
the ELF binaries produced and fails if one of them has a dependency
(DT_NEEDED) that cannot be found in its RUNPATH.  It uses (guix elf) and
the new (guix build gremlin).

So now the =E2=80=9Cdangling .so references=E2=80=9D bugs really need to be=
 fixed.  ;-)
A few RUNPATH problems were fixed in =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99, mostly=
 related to
cross-compilation where binaries never had a valid RUNPATH due to the
lack of a cross =E2=80=98ld-wrapper=E2=80=99 to add =E2=80=98-rpath=E2=80=
=99 flags as we do natively.

Feedback welcome!
