That solved my problem very well! I should have tried that, but it's even
better to have this explanation of why it works.

It's odd that the manual was so deliberately misleading on this! While I was
trying to solve this myself, I read: "You can mix options and other
arguments. For the most part, the order you use doesn't matter. Order does
matter when you use several options of the same kind; for example, if you
specify -L more than once, the directories are searched in the order
specified."
