rpath is generally selected on a system level rather than a per-program level, rpath configuration should be supplied by something other than Cargo.toml

I'd prefer command line options to cargo, but .cargo/config is ok.

If people are actually using this in Cargo.toml, it probably makes sense just to have the new option override the Cargo.toml supplied settings.

As there hasn't been any activity here in a while would someone (the author, a team member, or any interested party) be able to summarise the current state, perhaps making explicit:

• Is this still relevant?
• If so, what is blocking it?
• Is it known what could be done to help move this forward?

Thank you!

(The cargo team is currently evaluating the use of Stale bot, and using #6035 as the tracking issue to gather feedback.)

If you're reading this comment from the distant future, fear not if this was closed automatically. If you believe it's still an issue please leave a comment and a team member can reopen this issue. Opening a new issue is also acceptable!

The existence of RUSTFLAGS and .cargo/config's build.rustflags (etc) appears to resolve this issue. (Just pass -C rpath via those mechanisms).
