This behaves similarly to the
$ORIGINfeature in theRPATHandRUNPATHELF headers. It allows libva and the driver modules to be directory-portable (without having to set the env var at runtime), since libva only needs the path to the library dir relative to its own install dir, rather than an absolute path.This retains compatibility with existing drivers' build systems by setting the pkgconfig driverdir value, as with the existing code.
As far as I can tell,
dladdris available on all targeted systems.I was initially concerned that using
dladdrthis way might cause problems for static linking, but that's not supported in libva anyway.
