Is that exactly what you tried?  Because that doesn't do the right thing.
Instead, use
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

with a Bourne-like shell, or
  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib

with a csh-like shell.

This might work in the SVN trunk version of GCC (haven't checked though).
