Mhm, and you know that this patch is right? If config.rpath is called it is
expected that it sets a few variables such as shlibext (normally to "so"),
libext ("a") but this does not happen with an empty config.rpath. This patch
may indeed fix the current error but what about support for all platforms?
I would ship a proper file instead of a faked one and I mentioned that e.g.
autopoint creates this file ...
