darwin: RPATH is set at build time but is removed at install time

[jeremyhu]

Describe the bug

I'm building with -Wl,-rpath,/opt/X11/lib/asan in LDFLAGS. During build, this is passed as expected and the resulting binary has the correct LC_RPATH load command. When I install, the resulting binary does NOT have this load command.

I tried using -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/X11/lib/asan to see if that woudl trick meson into working, but it failed just the same.

To Reproduce

I'm using libxcvt from xorg as it's a small and simple meson-based project that exhibits this easily.

Expected behavior

I expect the installed binary to have /opt/X11/lib/asan in an LC_RPATH load command, but it doesn't.

$ otool -l ./build.arm64/cvt/cvt | grep -B1 -A2 LC_RPATH
