For reference it's just doing:
export RELATIVERPATH = "${@base_path_relative(d.getVar('bindir', 1),
d.getVar('STAGING_LIBDIR_NATIVE', 1))}"
export BUILD_LDFLAGS = "-L${STAGING_LIBDIR_NATIVE} \
                        -Wl,-rpath,\\\$\$ORIGIN/${RELATIVERPATH} -Wl,-O1
\
                        -Wl,-rpath,${STAGING_LIBDIR_NATIVE} -Wl,-O1 \
                        "

In bitbake.conf (extra variable for dealing with the hard packages
later).
