Hello,

Thanks a lot for CCing me.

Ileana is absolutely right: the reason for this behavior is that some
paths are excluded from compile_rpath in func_mode_link.  The original
idea was to prevent paths from outside of the source tree from appearing
before ones lying beneath it.  However, simply omitting such paths was
not right, they should be reordered instead.  The attached patch fixes
this.  With it, both bug_71489.at in libtool, and all tests in gettext
pass.

Regards,
Sergey
