Requiring -rpath is and was the default on a number of Unix platforms.
The canonical exceptions are Linux and FreeBSD. That the former is
clueless I don't have to say. The latter inherited it from a.out and
never switched. I don't think it is a good base to reason upon given all
the other clutches kept e.g. not using normal ELF naming for libraries
etc.
Isn't it possible to have an implicit -rpath setting?  So for instance, if I link -L/usr/lib/foo -lfoo that the binary will get /usr/lib/foo as rpath (if libfoo was found there).

With this we could get away from the ld cache.
