[Distutils] rpath broken

[Joe Van Andel]

I grabbed the latest CVS version of distutils, as of 3/15/2000.

I'm building C Python extensions under Solaris and Linux.  Under
Solaris, I need to specify the
'-R' options.  'rpath' is documented to do this, but doesn't have any
affect.

In ccompiler.py, I notice the _fix_link_args() routine manipulates
libraries and library_dirs, but doesn't use rpath.

I suspect _fix_link_args() is part of what needs to be fixed.

Anyone else using 'rpath'?
