Linkers, so fun they are...

As you can see in the search order RPATH takes precedence over 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If we assume that you want LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be able to override 
the lib you could use the following flags.

"lflags" : [ "--enable-new-dtags", 
-"rpath=/home/craig2/code/gdal-2.0.0/lib64/", 
"-L/home/craig2/code/gdal-2.0.0/lib64/" ]

you can see what it is in the binary with: readelf --dynamic 
gdaltest|grep PATH

This should make LD_LIBRARY_PATH redundant.
