No, the point is that ECL cannot impose use of --rpath (which is what
you need) for every installation. See other messages in the mailing
list reporting bugs about it.

It is not. As I said, there is a very well defined linker flag, called
--rpath, which you can use to tell ECL that you do not want to change
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If you use that flag, the executable will have a
fixed location for the library and you do not need to set environment
variables.
