Comment (by kencu):

 Yes, that PR basically undoes @catap's recent switch to dump the patch
 we've been using for decades, and use the configure argument... we should
 know by now that when you change something that's been in place that many
 years, something bad will happen.

 It would seem just go back to the patch on all systems, for consistency on
 all of them, and be done with it rather than always special-casing Tiger.
 (but I have a feeling we will sadly special case Tiger needlessly anyway,
 you watch :> ).

 The configure arg is broken anyway - "--enable-rpath" on newer systems
 doesn't actually enable rpaths in the built libraries (although it
 apparently does slip this pointless bugger into the executables
 {{{-Wl,-rpath,/opt/local/lib}}} which is why we missed it a few weeks
 back).
