Re: [tbox-l] building openldap with ssl

At the risk of giving an over-simplified example:  you can change the
library search path in an executable that has already been created, as
long as it hasn't been stripped.  Basically, you just relink it with
the -blibpath option to ld, specifying the runtime libpath that you want.
In a basic example, you might have executable "foo" and use it to relink
and create "foo2":

$ ld -blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib -lc  foo -o foo2

So if "foo" didn't have /usr/local/lib in its library search path, "foo2"
now does.  Run "dump -Hv" on each executable to compare.

This is overly basic, because I've only got "-lc" for libc.a and you
wouldn't need /usr/local/lib for that, but it should show the basic
idea.  You'd add more "-lxxx" options as needed.
