Remove runtime library paths For some extensions (sqlite and dbm), Python setup.py script hardcode a runtime path (rpath) into the extension. However, this runtime path is incorrect (because it points to the location of the library directory on the development machine) and useless (because on the target, all useful libraries are in a standard directory searched by the dynamic loader). For those reasons, we just get rid of the runtime paths in cross-compilation mode.
