The OpenBSD manpage I found says that they give LD_LIBRARY_PATH priority
over DT_RPATH, so I guess it's not an issue there.

Is there some reason why ld_library_path_var is defined using a bunch of
$(if) constructs rather than putting the value (if not LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
in the individual port makefiles?
