[Bro] Bro 2.6 beta feedback?

[Johanna Amann]

I am not sure that that will help - setting an rpath in packaged 
binaries is typically at least discouraged. We actually also don’t do 
it in the packages that we do (or will) ship.

For example, see https://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue, 
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html, 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_tricks#Acceptable_use_of_rpath 
(rpmlint raises it as an error; it can be considered ok in fedora for 
internal libraries), https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_checks 
(this seems to outright prohibit its use).

But - perhaps we should recognize such situations and refuse to 
compile/warn users that they mightt have to re-set their dynamic link 
paths?
