Not necessarily, since you can override the rpath setting with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (at least on Linux and presumably other gnu-capable
systems).
However, the link set will fail if the path to the directory does not
exist (again, at least for gcc/g++ on Linux and Solaris). That may not
be a problem for most package builders (since things will go in a
standard place) but will cause problems for installing into standalone
areas. Especially for, as you point out, testing before installation.
