Compiler Option: -norpath

In tiko: no $ORIGIN run path on a linux-x86_64 link, and no @loader_path run path on a macos-arm64 link.

Syntax

-norpath

Description

A linux-x86_64 program that links a shared library from #foreignlib -- a .so file, as a vendor package linked dynamic does -- gets a run path of $ORIGIN, so the library beside the program is the one it loads. -norpath leaves the run path out; the program then finds the library only where the system's loader looks, or through LD_LIBRARY_PATH. A program that links no such file has no run path either way, and windows-x86_64 has none to give: Windows looks beside the program first. A macos-arm64 program that links a .dylib file the same way gets the run path @loader_path, and -norpath leaves that out too.
