My opinion (if it's worth anything) is that a binary should not specify
search paths for libraries other than those explicitly provided with it as
part of its own package.
The environment should handle shared library paths, using $LD_PATH or
ldconfig or whatever. If a binary has to specify where i

OpenBSD-6.3's "xml2-config --libs" doesn't contain any rpath settings,

Just FYI!
My bf-animal curculio that runs OpenBSD 5.9 shows the following:

on NetBSD-current (well, mostly current, from May or so).
The configure script blew up, complaining that it couldn't execute
a test program. Investigation showed that xml2-config reports this:

-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib
