We have a long-standing philosophy that OMPI should add the bare minimum number of preprocessor/compiler/linker flags to its wrapper compilers, and let the user/administrator customize from there.

In general, I agree with that philosophy.

That being said, a looong time ago, I started a patch to add a --with-rpath option to configure, but never finished it. :-\ I can try to get it back on my to-do list.

That would be perfect.

For the moment, you might want to try the configure --enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default option, too.

The downside is that we tend not to bother with the mpirun for configure and it's a little annoying to "mpirun ldd" when hunting for other problems (e.g. a missing shared lib unrelated to Open MPI).
