Mmm... we use libtool so I think the better option would be to let
libtool do the job. Looking at help (see "./libtool --mode=link
--help")

...
  -rpath LIBDIR     the created library will eventually be installed in LIBDIR
  -R[ ]LIBDIR       add LIBDIR to the runtime path of programs and libraries
...

so -R (not -Wl,-R, only -R) should be the best
