/opt/csw/lib/SALIST in RPATH

Some of the binaries have the path /opt/csw/lib/SALIST in RPATH. Sometimes it is RIGIN. Is that a problem?

All components from RPATH are searched for libraries in the order they are specified. Non-existing pathes like the above mentioned simply lead to libraries not found there and when there is at least one correct path for the library it won't hurt.

The above mentioned pathes are generated as a result of shell expansion of /opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST and /opt/csw/lib/$ORIGIN where the $ is evaluated to mean single-chararacter variable names. Please file bugs if you encounter one as these are artifacts of an intermediate (now legacy) build.
