+make install (meson?) removes needed RPATH for libslirp, making build on CentOS 9 difficult
+Description of problem:
+make install appears to remove need RPATH attributes from the binary, making it difficult if not impossible to install Qemu 9.0.0 on a CentOS 9 machine.
+
+I'm trying to build Qemu 9.0.0 on a CentOS 9 Stream machine where I do not have root.
+The system ships with libslirp-4.4.0-7.el9.src.rpm which is libslirp 4.4.0, which is too old for Qemu.
+
+I checked out https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp.git which is 2 commits more recent than
+libslirp 4.8.0.  I installed this version in a separate directory.
+
+When I configure Qemu using PKG_CONFIG_PATH, it builds the correct executable with the correct RPATH.
+readelf -d shows:
+
+ 0x000000000000000f (RPATH)              Library rpath: [/web/courses/cs4284/pintostools/lib64]
+
+which is the correct directory where the proper version of libslirp is located.
+
+However, when I run "make install" the RPATH attribute is removed. Thus, Qemu resorts to the system version, which is version 4.4 (with which Qemu won't run.)
+
+Meson's propensity to strip necessary RPATHs appears to be well-known, see, for instance,
+
+https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4027
+
+(There is a fix for at least some of the problems in 0.55.0 of Meson
+https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-0-55-0.html
+Qemu 9.0.0 appears to use Meson 1.2.3., but yet it still fails.)
+
+Work-around: don't use make install, copy it directly from the build directory to the destination directory.
