As no disable-new-dtags and patchelf command are found in the repo, how does aarch64 cpu wheel of keep rpath instead of runpath in default? Will the RPATH cause problem (as use of DT\_RPATH is deprecated)?

in nightly whl (20250417)  
**0x000000000000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [$ORIGIN/lib:$ORIGIN/../torch.libs]**

build by source code  
**0x000000000000001d (RUNPATH) Library runpath: [$ORIGIN/lib]**

It seems that RUNPATH is replaced by RPATH when auditwheel is adding $ORIGIN/../torch.libs to whl.
