Something passing in rpath /usr/lib64 during linking.. likely libtool....

It doesn't have to be cleaned up, but it's a really good idea to find and fix
the problems.  I believe that the standard libtool in oe-core avoids passing
rpaths of standard system prefixes.. so it's likely the gthumb Makefiles
themselves that are doing this.  (Unless of course libtool has a bug....)
