-rpath is certainly not the same as -L. They have very different
purposes; see the ld info pages for what -rpath really does.

gcc does not understand -rpath, because it is a linker option. It
seems strange that apache would be passing this to gcc. The fix is to
tell gcc that the -rpath option should be passed on to the linker,
with -Wl,-rpath,<arg>
