I second this opinion.  While /usr/local may be the default install

prefix other than /usr/local, /usr/local should be ignored unless the
system's tools automatically look there.


Um, well, regardless of what gcc -print-search-dirs says, gcc invokes ld to do the linking and ld looks in /lib /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib. I am not talking about adding arbitrary paths for my own amusement, the system tools do look in /usr/local/lib, just gcc -print-search-dirs sucks.
