[Bug ld/1343] New: need --with-lib-path = $exec_prefix for ld

[russfink at hotmail dot com]

I compiled a binutils for a custom target, and specified "./configure
--prefix=foo --exec_prefix=arch/foo" at the top level binutils directory. 
During the build, it went into the "ld" directory and did a standard 
"./configure".

The compiled "ld" has a default search path of /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib, but
not my exec_prefix/lib.  The behavior should be that ld searches
${exec_prefix}/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib in that order.

This can be done easily because ld's configure has a --with-lib-path option -
but the toplevel binutils does not have any matching option nor does it
propagate any such thing down.

Can someone add --with-ld-lib-path to binutils' ./configure script, such that it
will push down "--with-ld-path" to the lower level ld?  Alternatively, can ld be
modified to put ${exec_prefix}/lib in front of the default libs when compiling,
if $exec_prefix is set?

Thanks,
Russ Fink
