So here is what gentoo does:

        f=$(scanelf -qyRF '%r %p' "${D}" | grep -E 
"(${PORTAGE_BUILDDIR}|: |::|^ )")
        if [[ -n ${f} ]] ; then
            echo -ne '\a\n'
            echo "QA Notice: the following files contain insecure RUNPATH's"
            echo " Please file a bug about this at http://bugs.gentoo.org/"
            echo " For more information on this issue, kindly review:"
            echo " http://bugs.gentoo.org/81745"
            echo "${f}"
            echo -ne '\a\n'
            die "Insecure binaries detected"
        fi


I think this should be a namcap check rather than have makepkg 
automatically adjust these - although I could be convinced otherwise.

Sacnning my computer with readelf, I found a few other packages that 
this effects.  There are also plenty of "Library rpath: [$ORIGIN]" which 
I am not sure if is bad...

Anyway, it would be good if you could open a bug report about this.
