I have another piece of the puzzle.  The first place I see this "-rpath"
is in guile-readline/Makefile.in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@HAVE_READLINE_TRUE@am_libguilereadline_v_@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@_la_rpath =  \
@HAVE_READLINE_TRUE@	-rpath $(libdir)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and later in the same file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
libguilereadline-v-@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@.la: $(libguilereadline_v_@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@_la_OBJECTS) $(libguilereadline_v_@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@_la_DEPENDENCIES) $(EXTRA_libguilereadline_v_@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@_la_DEPENDENCIES) 
	$(AM_V_CCLD)$(libguilereadline_v_@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@_la_LINK) $(am_libguilereadline_v_@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@_la_rpath) $(libguilereadline_v_@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@_la_OBJECTS) $(libguilereadline_v_@LIBGUILEREADLINE_MAJOR@_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I used the versions of autoconf, automake, libtool, and libtool:bin from
recent Guix master when running ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make, etc.

    Thanks,
