Indeed.  It only uses `patchelf --shrink-rpath' to get rid of unused paths in
the RPATHs of executables.  (This was necessary in the past because ld-wrapper
passed every "lib" directory in buildInputs as a -rpath flag to the ld
invocation.  I think it now only adds -rpath flags for libraries that are
actually used, so maybe we don't need this anymore.)
