Comment:

 First of all this has nothing to do with liblwgeom, but only with libgeos
 not being found at runtime. I believe the correct way to deal with this is
 by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the server environment, but I understand
 you'd prefer to embed an rpath into the postgis.so object.

 I've never felt any need for this so don't really know how to do it, but I
 guess your LDFLAGS should be respected. Can you check if the resulting
 link command still have the -rpath in ? Either in the output of "make"
 under postgis/ dir or within the Makefile itself.

 Also, I guess the _same_ issue you'll have with _any_ precedent PostGIS
 version, can you confirm ?
