[patch] explicitly point to base binutils tools if not using ports binutils

I added an -B/usr/bin to Carlos' patch.  If we are explicitly setting the p=
ath
for certain base tools (/usr/bin/ar, etc.), we should explicitly tell clang=
++40
to look in /usr/bin at link time instead of relying on /usr/bin being in yo=
ur
path before /usr/local/bin.

It turns out that the newer ld from the binutils port will probably work fi=
ne
with .a files generated by the current /usr/bin/ar & /usr/bin/ranlib.  But =
it's
better to explicitly point to /usr/bin/ld to match the use of base ar & ran=
lib,
IMO.

By the way, something in the cmake code is causing the detection of ar, ran=
lib,
etc., tools based on the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER path.  If CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER is
/usr/local/bin/clang++40, it finds ar, ranlib, etc., in /usr/local/bin (if
binutils port is installed).  If CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER is /usr/bin/c++, cmake
finds ar, ranlib, etc., in /usr/bin.

Trying to follow the cmake logic to see where the determination which tool =
to
use is difficult (at least for me).  I'm no cmake guru.  So there may be
another way to "hint" cmake where to look for the tools.  But this patch wo=
rks
well enough, I think.
