Could you complement the above comment with something like: “Thus,
disable the test that checks for an empty RUNPATH.”, or whatever is
appropriate?  That will clarify the intent because it’s not obvious what
the substitution is doing if you don’t have the file at hand.  :-)

Otherwise LGTM, thanks for addressing this issue!
