This instructs cross rubies to omit the rpath linker option to the absolute path in the build environment, which is like ``` -Wl,-rpath,/home/kanis/.rvm/rubies/ruby-3.4.5/lib ``` This path is not present on the target system and could lead to security issues. Related to sparklemotion/nokogiri#3133

There are several absolute paths built into the binary. For instance fallback path to `pg_service.conf` or the fallback path to kerberos ccache file or the rpath included into the libpq or C-ext files. They can be avoided or fixed by disabling rpaths and by using `DESTDIR` instead of `--prefix` configure option. Fixes ged#666 The remaining rpath to libruby will probably be fixed by: rake-compiler/rake-compiler-dock#165 Also fix the `MAKEFLAGS` option. `MAKEOPTS` was wrong.
