Ah, I see.  I took a look, and indeed, it's the *.la file that causes the
problem, and only for other packages linked with libtool.

Obviously removing the *.la file would be ideal, but if the *.la file is
referenced in any other *.la files of other libraries that depend in
libtiff, you can't remove it without breaking builds.  However, you can
fix the *.la file so that it won't introduce this problem, I think.  I
believe you should be able to edit the *.la file after the build and
change:

    libdir='/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff5-alt'

to:

    libdir='/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu'

I don't think this will interfere with the build, and it should suppress
the rpath.

These don't use libtool, which is the immediate difference.
