I've tried libtool 1.5 both with and without this patch, and the
problem remains the same.  But instead of searching /usr/lib
explicitly, it searches /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/../../..
instead, which is equivalent...

I've attached a patch (against 1.5) that works for me.  At the
following point in ltmain.in, I changed the order of the stuff
that gets assigned to newlib_search_path.  The new directory is
now prepended instead of being appended:

  prog)
    if test "$pass" = conv; then
      deplibs="$deplib $deplibs"
      continue
    fi
    if test "$pass" = scan; then
      deplibs="$deplib $deplibs"
      newlib_search_path=`$echo "X$deplib" | $Xsed -e 's/^-L//'`" 
$newlib_search_path"
    else
      compile_deplibs="$deplib $compile_deplibs"
      finalize_deplibs="$deplib $finalize_deplibs"
    fi
    ;;

This puts the right directory before /usr/lib instead of after.
(I notice that this code segment is the only one in the script that
compares $pass with 'scan'.)

I don't know if this patch would be appropriate for all users of
libtool however...
