Note we have a similar problem with serf, and possibly other libraries.

Modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH is probably wrong, it would not persist beyond
the build.

Setting LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath might work but portability is an issue, it's
a bit like trying to reinventing libtool and we might break systems we
don't use. Perhaps we should pass "-rpath $(libgit2)/lib" to libtool.
On my system that breaks linking executables so we would need to do it
just when linking libraries.
