How to set gcc RPATH without including any build paths? - c

Question

I need to build a wget incomplete executable using gcc for RHEL4 that will use a specific OpenSSL shared lib. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unset at build time.
This is quite simple by specifying:
LDFLAGS="-W1,-rpath=/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/my_build_dir/usr/local/ssl/lib"
and all is good.
But this makes the RPATH in the dynamic section of my incomplete executable:
Library rpath: [/usr/local/ssl/lib:/my_build_dir/usr/local/ssl/lib]
Is it possible using the gcc toolchain to set the RPATH to only use what is specified using the -rpath option and to ignore all library paths declared at build time?
I have looked at many SO posts today incl.:
I don't understand -Wl,-rpath -Wl, , and
What's the difference between -rpath and -L?
but nothing seems to address the issue of removing build info from the final incomplete executable.
EDIT: Here is the full command line for the final link phase.
gcc -Wall -std=c99 -m32 -march=athlon -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -O2 -pipe -s \
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall -m32 -march=athlon \
-mfpmath=sse -msse2 -O2 -pipe -s -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/ssl/lib \
-L/my_build_dir/usr/local/ssl/lib -o wget cmpt.o connect.o convert.o \
cookies.o ftp.o css_.o css-url.o ftp-basic.o ftp-ls.o hash.o host.o \
html-parse.o html-url.o http.o init.o log.o main.o netrc.o progress.o \
ptimer.o recur.o res.o retr.o spider.o url.o warc.o utils.o exits.o
build_info.o iri.o version.o ftp-opie.o openssl.o http-ntlm.o \
../lib/libgnu.a /my_build_dir/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so \
/my_build_dir/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so -Wl,-rpath \
-Wl,/my_build_dir/usr/local/ssl/lib -ldl -lz -lidn -luuid -lrt
Thanks to the comments of nos and keltar below I can see where the issue is.
Now to work out why configure finishes up specifying the two openssl libs with their fullpath.
EDIT 2: Just to confirm that that the -rpath and -L option are working correctly.
If I rewrite the above command to remove the hard references to the build location of the openssl libs then RPATH in the incomplete executable is set to just /usr/local/ssl/lib.
