Please, help me with ebuild

I wrote ebuild for sys-fs/xfsprogs-9999, it was modified from sys-fs/xfsprogs-3.2.2. It builds and works fine, but I got some QA Notice.
I publish ebuild and QA Notice here.
How should ebuild be modified?

Insecure RUNPATH is something that needs to be corrected with a patch to the build-system, most likely configure.ac (or configure.in if it's older.)

The best place to get advice on that is ##workingset on IRC: chat.freenode.org

Do you get the same QA warning with the in-tree ebuild? If not, that gives you a point to see what's changed.

No, there is no QA notice with the in-tree ebuild.
The point is that ebuild was slightly modified to be as close as possible to the in-tree ebuild.
configure.ac is the same in 3.2.2 and git.

OK, quick fix is likely to be: run chrpath (as we install libs into a standard location.)

Have a good read of this webpage, and associated links.
You'll see you want to run:

I'd ask in #gentoo-dev-help on IRC: chat.freenode.org, and ##workingset for the underlying utils. lddtree and ldd come to mind, but it's hard to help via ping-pong on a forum.

steveL, i joined IRC, asked, but no reply. Only igli tried to help, but he didn't find out why QA noticed about errors, in his opinion it's falss alarm.

Heh I'm igli ;)

As I said, I don't recall the variable to set; asking in #gentoo-dev-help again, though really we need to fix the check.

BTW, when it comes to IRC, you need to hang around for a few hours, especially in places like ##workingset where most of the regulars are professionals, and lag times are large. (That's why "If you need help then WAIT for an answer." is in the /topic.)

I was a bit confused as to why there's no dynamic section, but we resolved that on IRC; there is, it just doesn't have any *PATH settings (hence: fix the check, or resolve what's going on precisely.)

edit: man 5 ebuild lists the "QA Control Variables" (thanks idella4 :)
I'm still stumped as to which check this is (or at least which var to set), and as to why it's triggering.

Saving off your pastes, there's no *PATH in any:
