It should not be a problem. Nix always uses rpath to set the search
path explicitly, so this would happen automatically anyway, i.e. Nix
will add the package's location in the Nix store
(/nix/store/<hash>-<name>/lib) to the RPATH (of test.bin in this case)
when it detects a dependeny to a library that is part of the package
itself.
