vlc-0.9.0-test2 installs the executable 'vlc' with runpaths from the build directory

Initially reported here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214240

in src/Makefile.am there is: AM_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -no-install

from info libtool:

`-no-install'
     Link an executable OUTPUT-FILE that can't be installed and
     therefore doesn't need a wrapper script on systems that allow
     hardcoding of library paths.  Useful if the program is only used
     in the build tree, e.g., for testing or generating other files.

Admitedly useful for e.g. running gdb from the build tree, but this binary is installed and thus gets wrong RUNPATH's when reaching the system. If this is so critical for developpers, I think there should at least be an option to disable this behavior.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
