Macos %apple-clang cannot handle -rpath when creating static library #45919
Description
Steps to reproduce
When creating a static library on macos using apple-clang, spack passes the entire -rpath to the linker. However apple-clang's ld cannot handle this:
ld: -rpath can only be used when creating a dynamic final linked image
And example of this behaviour is parallel-netcdf-1.12.3 where -rpath is passed to ld as it tries to create a static library:
