Guix uses patchelf.

Patchelf is very useful anytime you want to change the location of dynamic loaded libraries but don't want to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

It is used in more places than you might originally think.

We don't use patchelf for any official package definition. We have a package for patchelf, but it's only really useful when you have pre-built binaries that you can't rebuild from source.

GoboLinux also uses patchelf.
