Yes, they are. gcc does something like this, and it is very confusing. IIRC, it appends /aout for builtin paths but not for paths in $LIBRARY_PATH. It only appends /aout if the aout subdirectory exists. In some configurations, it then overrides the linker's possibly better idea of the paths by passing the paths that it finds as -L options. Bruce
