But that first part (every single user of executables built with a g++
installed into non-system directories having to tweak LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
gcc builders/installers having to tweak specs or whatever) has been a
major shortcoming of gcc for years.  There needs to be a way that gcc
DTRT out of the box; a compiler producing executables that don't work
without prior additional setup is a joke.  Maybe I can work on this in
the 4.9 timeframe.
