entries... like if one was buliding an upgrade to an already installed
library, one would want the current version to link against what's being
built not what's installed

It would appear that LD has no internal default paths so they're all
specified on the command line or in linker scripts
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9922949/how-to-print-the-ldlinker-search-path

So I personally didn't understand why it was specifying full path to .so's
anyway.

I think maybe there was one-off systems that were considered 'standard'
when developing these things....(should have been the exception not the
rule)  And maybe I'm way off base
