Yes, it's a mess.  But we don't know of any really clean way to fix it.

I very strongly recommend that if you want to build gcc's supporting
libraries yourself, rather than getting them from your distro, that you
configure them with --disable-shared when you build them.

Or, if you must, add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf file or to
one of your /etc/ld.so.conf.d files, and run ldconfig.
