The configure scripts usually accept a parameter like
`--with-extra-libs=/usr/local/lib' that you could use. You can always
invoke configure with the --help option and check for it. Works most of
the time.

Most of the GNU tools are better documented in the info pages, as they
consider man pages legacy. info ld might turn up more detailed info.
