This isn't enough information to go by.  If there are no libraries
involved at all, or no libtool libraries that are to be moved elsewhere,
then you just use `-R /some/read-write/dir' at link time.

To be able to say more (including whether it works portably ATM or not),
we need to know
- which libraries are involved (uninstalled ones, installed but at a
  different location in which they will ultimately appear, or installed
  ones at their final location),
- whether those libraries are static, shared, created with libtool or
  without (i.e., there is a *.la file or not),
- and the exact dependencies between them (including whether direct or
  not); best to show both the `libtool --mode=link' line for each of
  them and the respective output.
- and of course the same for the final binaries, too.

Cheers,
Ralf
