Hi Martin,

> Is it something documented or specified?

Yes, although it is not obvious/highlighted.  The linker documentation for the
-L option states:

  "Add path searchdir to the list of paths that ld will search for 
  archive libraries and ld control scripts."

A version script does count as a control script in this case, so the -L option
does affect searches for them.

I assume that you would like some clearer documentation on this ?  If so, do
you have a suggestion for better wording ?

Cheers
  Nick
