Hi,

I guess it's not intended that the library / shared object _pcbnew.so
build in pcbnew/ set up a RPATH based on the build directory?

> root@i5:/# ldd build/kicad-5.0.0~rc0+dfsg1/debian/build/pcbnew/_pcbnew.so | grep build
> 	libkicad_3dsg.so.2.0.0 => /build/kicad-5.0.0~rc0+dfsg1/debian/build/3d-viewer/3d_cache/sg/libkicad_3dsg.so.2.0.0 (0x00007f8188148000)

This causes that lintian (a big QS tool for Debian packaging) is writing
a error out on this. This package wouldn't be accepted from the FTP
master if I'd do a upload to NEW. And I need to upload to NEW as the
package structure will change.

As visible this shared object is moved into
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_pcbnew.x86_64-linux-gnu.so as an
Python module.

I don't know what has to be changed here so I'd like to ask someone who
is more experienced with the cmake world.
I could change this with chrpath but it's better if upstream would fix
this. Surprisingly the library _pcbnew.kiface hasn't this issue so I'm a
bit clueless.

The Debian wiki has some extra information about the Rpath problematic.
