Lininkg libs in non-standard dirs

[eddy <bremby at seznam dot cz>]

Hi,

I am really desperate now. I've been trying to compile programs, while
linking them against my own compiled libraries from glibc-2.8, for some
time now. I never succeeded.

For example the bash 3.2. I've compiled it for hundred times or so.
Sometimes I wasn't able to compile it at all, because of the linker.
After any successful compilation, the "ldd" command tells me it is
linked against the system's (Ubuntu's) libs in /lib/tls/i686/cmov/.

Since I am building my own system, I need to have it linked against i586
libraries and I would appreciate having the shared libs in /lib, not
anywhere else, which would just confuse me or anyone else.

So far I have tried any known way to make the linker to search libs in a
given directory - using variables (LIBRARY_PATH, LD_RUN_PATH, maybe
other), using variables to call CC (CC="gcc 4.2 -Wl, -R/path").
The compilation is done using make, so I don't call gcc myself.
Nevertheless, either the configure script tells me the C compiler cannot
create executables, or the compilation (after running make) stops at the
very beginning, saying make error: segmentation fault (dunno what this
really means). Or, as mentioned before, the successfully compiled
program is still linked to libs that I don't want to use.

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 with latest updates.
	make 3.81
	gcc 4.2.3

Please, I really need help with this. I have no idea what could be
wrong. Any help, or just try, would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
