[Pkg-julia-devel] Dec. 14 update

[Elliot Saba]

Yes, I ran into the same issue and tried to get it resolved by using
patchelf to modify the rpath in the install step, however another
maintainer didn't like the usage of patchelf, especially as that is
unavailable on *BSD.  In the end, we decided to leave MULTIARCH_INSTALL
broken in a non-installed environment, as the only person that will ever
really use it is debian packagers.  I think this is still suboptimal, but
haven't worked out a perfect solution that doesn't involve shuffling around
rpath's yet.
