I think this is not great. This basically just breaks things.
If done we should provide such an "external mechanism".
For DTS I just compile in the supported backends staticly. See the
code on the mjw/RH-DTS branch. That is also not great since it just
hard codes the supported backends (and then just throws away various
tests that are broken in that setup). Which is why that code isn't
on the master branch.
But if we can come up with something like that (but a little bit more
flexible) as alternative for not having/using rpath/ldopen, that would
be good.
What "external mechanism" are you using?
Cheers,
Mark
