[Bug ld/1040] New: Many packages fail to compile with binutils 2.16.1 because of ldscripts screwup

[funtoos at yahoo dot com]

With binutils 2.16.1, lots of packages fail with wierd linker errors like some
library required by another library not found and then it dies with 'undefined
references'. All this happens because scripts in ldscripts/ only have
/usr/i386-sun-solaris2.11/lib in the SEARCH_DIR. ld doesn't see libraries lying
in /lib and /usr/lib. Changing these scripts to include /lib and /usr/lib solves
these problems. I couldn't figure out why -L/lib -L/usr/lib was not honoured(in
hindsight I think may be I needed to use -R/lib -R/usr/lib).

can you please include these paths by default in the SEARCH_DIR?
