Hi Andreas,

The CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH was recommended in #962474
(https://bugs.debian.org/962474) to improve reproducibility by default.
The bug contains the rationale for that option and explains the
underlying issue (plus links to the upstream bug tracker where that
topic was also discussed).

Thanks,
~Niels
