[PATCH] Revert "cpupower Makefile change to help run the tool without 'make install'"

From: Josh Boyer
Date: Tue Mar 10 2015 - 20:28:09 EST


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.
