This may be the flag we are looking for:

       -search_paths_first
              By  default  when  the  -dynamic  flag is in effect, the -lx and
              -weak-lx  options  first  search  for  a  file   of   the   form
              `libx.dylib'  in each directory in the library search path, then
              a file of the form `libx.a'  is  searched  for  in  the  library
              search  paths.   This  option  changes  it  so that in each path
              `libx.dylib' is searched for then `libx.a' before the next  path
              in the library search path is searched.

So, -Wl,-search_paths_first.
