here are two links to discussions of this issue:

   https://reviews.freebsd.org/D5129
   https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178732

, which make me wonder whether SCons should bother about "-rpath" at all. I see that there might be room for improvement regarding 
the exception handling and error messaging for ParseFlags()*, but I don't see the missing "-rpath" option as a bug...it's simply not 
implemented. And for good reasons as it looks... ;)


Best regards,

Dirk
