On Darwin for instance, there is no -R or -Wl,-rpath thing to  
fiddle with,
it's simply not supported by the dynamic loader.  This patch  
introduces a
NO_RPATH define which is enabled by default for Darwin.

I compile git on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4, gcc 4.0.1 build 5367  
from the normal Xcode install that comes on the OS install DVD) on  
a regular basis. The makefile works fine for me. I suspect there's  
something else going on here.

The rpath code is only used if you define one of the following options:

CURLDIR
ZLIB_PATH
OPENSSLDIR
ICONVDIR

The default Darwin options don't define any of these, it just relies  
on finding those libraries in the library path (including /sw or /opt/ 
local if you have them installed).
