I'm not sure that is the problem. In the compiles that go wrong /usr/lib
is in the search path. It seems to be a problem of the version of ld.

Could you provide a script for exactly reproducing your configuration?

Configure it to what?

It seems to be a problem of the build tools (gcc etc) rather than such
an interference.
