+Subject: [PATCH] Add option to make the rpath relative under a specified root
+ directory
+
+Running "patchelf" with the option "--make-rpath-relative ROOTDIR" will
+modify or delete the RPATHDIRs according the following rules
+similar to Martin's patches [1] making the Buildroot toolchaing/SDK
+relocatable.
+
+RPATHDIR starts with "$ORIGIN":
+    The original build-system already took care of setting a relative
+    RPATH, resolve it and test if it's valid (does exist)
+
+RPATHDIR starts with ROOTDIR:
+    The original build-system added some absolute RPATH (absolute on
+    the build machine). Test if it's valid (does exist).
+
+ROOTDIR/RPATHDIR exists:
+    The original build-system already took care of setting an absolute
+    RPATH (absolute in the final rootfs), resolve it and test if it's
+    valid (does exist).
+
+RPATHDIR points somewhere else:
+    (can be anywhere: build trees, staging tree, host location,
+    non-existing location, etc.). Just discard such a path.
+
+The option "--no-standard-libs" will discard RPATHDIRs ROOTDIR/lib and
+ROOTDIR/usr/lib. Like "--shrink-rpath", RPATHDIRs are also discarded
+if the directories do not contain a library referenced by the
+DT_NEEDED fields.
+If the option "--relative-to-file" is given, the rpath will start
+with "$ORIGIN" making it relative to the ELF file, otherwise an
+absolute path relative to ROOTDIR will be used.
