This bug (if it's a bug) also affects sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r3 on Gentoo.
The Qt Blog has a post about this issue from 2011:
http://blog.qt.io/blog/2011/10/28/rpath-and-runpath/
This may not be a bug: it is possible that DT_RUNPATH was never intended
to be transitive. However, if this is so, then DT_RPATH should not have
been deprecated, as DT_RUNPATH does not fully replicate its behavior (at
a lower precedence than LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
My use case: I have a cross-compiling toolchain setup to allow me to
compile binaries for the Amazon Linux distribution, which has older
everything than my host system. To test the compiled binaries on my host
system, I set LD_RUN_PATH and -Wl,-dynamic-linker when linking so that
the Amazon-versioned libraries are used instead of my host system's
libraries. The particular problem I'm experiencing is that
libstdc++.so.6 needs libm.so.6, but the latter is not loaded from the
proper location when my binary uses DT_RUNPATH instead of DT_RPATH.
Compare:
* When I link my binary with -Wl,--enable-new-dtags (the default on
Gentoo):
$ ldd out/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/engine
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffeb6bdf000)
libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 =>
/usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/usr/lib64/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
(0x00007f2592d85000)
libstdc++.so.6 =>
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/4.8.3/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f2592a53000)
libgcc_s.so.1 =>
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/4.8.3/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f259283c000)
libpthread.so.0 => /usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/lib64/libpthread.so.0
(0x00007f259261f000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/lib64/libc.so.6
(0x00007f2592274000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f2591f76000)
/usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(0x00007f2592fcc000)
Notice that libm.so.6 resolves to the system library in /lib64.
* When I link my binary with -Wl,--disable-new-dtags:
$ ldd out/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/engine
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffec67c2000)
libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 =>
/usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/usr/lib64/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
(0x00007fb5208b0000)
libstdc++.so.6 =>
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/4.8.3/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fb52057e000)
libgcc_s.so.1 =>
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/4.8.3/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fb520367000)
libpthread.so.0 => /usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/lib64/libpthread.so.0
(0x00007fb52014a000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/lib64/libc.so.6
(0x00007fb51fd9f000)
libm.so.6 => /usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/lib64/libm.so.6
(0x00007fb51faa1000)
/usr/x86_64-amazon-linux-gnu/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(0x00007fb520af7000)
Notice that libm.so.6 resolves to the correct library.
