Thanks,

Indeed,
 -with-boot-ldflags="-Wl,-rpath-link=$HOME/tools/lib 
-Wl,-rpath=$HOME/tools/lib"

did allow me to get gcc executables with embedded references to shared 
library directory.

Less dependency on ldconfig and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but more dependency 
on exact library files being accessible as long as the executables are 
present.
