I'd suggest that the library path for libraries that gcc/g++ chooses
to link in automatically should be inserted automatically too. This
would cover a quite common case of linking against several shared
libraries whose run-time directories you happen to know about with
libstdc++: you don't have to know where it lives, and it is
transparently linked in, so it should be transparently found at
run-time.
Just my 2 cents.
