+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "cpupower Makefile change to help run the tool without
+ 'make install'"
+
+This reverts commit 5c1de006e8e66b0be05be422416629e344c71652.
+
+While the original commit makes it easier to run cpupower from the local build
+directory, it also leaves the binary with a rather poor rpath of './' in it
+after it is installed on a system via 'make install'.
+
+This is considered bad practice and can cause cpupower to fail in rpmbuild
+with the following error:
+
+ERROR   0004: file '/usr/bin/cpupower' contains an insecure rpath './' in [./]
+error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.A6u26r (%install)
+    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.A6u26r (%install)
+
+Developers should be able to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to achieve the same effect
+and not introduce rpath into the binary.
