well, to be blunt, it -is- broken and thus is a fail.

If I wanted to go down a path like this, I'd use ldconfig, but my
personal feeling if is ldconfig is required, the software is doing
something wrong.

I think it has to be a tweak at FreeBSD.common -- rather than use
$ORIGIN/../lib for rpath, it needs a conditional statement to use
$ORIGIN/../../../lib instead.  I just don't know what the condition is.

I'm also trying to figure out why rpath=$ORIGIN is needed.  are there
ever libraries in the same directory as cm3?
