If you mean at the end of LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or whatever libltdl
variable is initialized from that, but *not* other directories), then
that would match how a fixed libltdl (which searches the rpath
directories) would behave.  ld.so (on GNU/Linux, anyway) searches in
this order: LD_LIBRARY_PATH, rpath, ld.so.cache, /lib, /usr/lib.
Appending to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) would be a good interim
measure until libltdl is fixed.
