Xapian devel - Nov 2006 - Fedora FC6 rpm, howto disable -rpath?

I'd like to contribute xapian to fedora extras.  It builds OK, but breaks
one requirement for inclusion.  I need to disable rpath.  Unfortunately,
I'm not very familiar with the autoconf, automake,... setup, and I can't
seem to find where to disable this.  I tried autoreconf, but that didn't
fix it.  Can anyone help me?

Hmm, I thought libtool only set rpath if the prefix isn't /usr.  I
recall I checked the debian packages and they didn't have rpath set
(it's against debian policy too).

Are you using the xapian.spec we ship or your own version?
