Research direction
Start by tracing the relocate operation and how it obtains dependency information from the cross toolchain's ldd output. Compare that output with the rpath data relocate expects; done means cross-compiled builds receive the correct rpath. The issue names no files or tests, so locating the relevant entry point is part of the work.
