* [Bug libc/11570] New: RPATH $ORIGIN fails in programs with capabilities set

Executable files with an RPATH which contains $ORIGIN fail to dynamically link
when a capability is set on the file.  Rather than replacing $ORIGIN as
expected, the string $ORIGIN is preserved as-is in the search path.  The only
workaround I am aware of is to use a program like patchelf to manually expand
the value first.

There is a self-contained test case here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/565002

Also related is this Java bug:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6919633

The common practical difficulty is that this makes it impossible for Java to be
granted CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE.

That's expected.  Don't use $ORIGIN for anything security sensitive.
