rpath wrappers may break passed defines

[Thyre]

The tests of Score-P contain one particular check, making sure that defines are properly passed to an instrumented program. The test code looks like this:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstdio>

// Compile-time comparison of string literals
constexpr bool
is_equal( char const* lhs,
          char const* rhs )
{
    return ( *lhs == *rhs )
           && ( ( *lhs == '\0' )
                || is_equal( lhs + 1, rhs + 1 ) );
}

#ifndef FOO
    #define FOO ""
#endif


int
main( int    argc,
      char** argv )
{
    static_assert( is_equal( FOO, "\'" ) );

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

However, when passed through the rpath wrappers of EasyBuild, this test runs into the static assertion, as FOO is set to an empty string.
For this, we do not need Score-P and can simply run the test case:

[jreuter@Linux easyconfigs]$ ml

   31 |     static_assert( is_equal( FOO, "\'" ) );
      |                    ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking at the debug output, FOO is stripped its ':
