on linux. OSX doesn't like it at the moment because the linker still
wants to link against the original library location. There is a
special OSX linker flag that allows libraries to be located using a
relative path to binaries (how else would Mac applications be able to
be bundled) but configure (and more importantly libtool I imagine) is
not using it.
