Comment (by darchon):

 The current design indeed only works for one, let's call it the
 //default//, situation; which is:
 * When GHC is installed in a //normal// directory using e.g. `make
 install`

 All other situations, including using the GHC binary from the build-tree,
 are either not working, or are working by accident.

 amosrobinson: could you link or include as attachment the output of
 `otool -l Main`? Of course of the version that doesn't have the extra
 rpath.
