People who install the software from rpm tend to expect that all the
necessary dependencies are resolved for them, without any additional
runtime settings.

And indeed, the LD_RUN_PATH is set in the Makefile by
ExtUtils::MakeMaker, it just seems to have no effect on the $(LD)
section. Anybody knows why the LD_RUN_PATH value is not used? Of
course, forcing it thru using
-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/oracle/xe/...
works but I assume it might break non-Linux (non-gcc) installations.

You're right.
