My opinion (if it's worth anything) is that a binary should not specify
search paths for libraries other than those explicitly provided with it as
part of its own package.

The environment should handle shared library paths, using $LD_PATH or
ldconfig or whatever. If a binary has to specify where is a third-party
shared library that it wishes the dynamic loader to use then the
environment is not set up correctly.
