Since the Ports Collection : installs by default in /usr/local, it seems reasonable to at least put : these directories at the end of the search paths for header files and : libraries. It is working as designed. /usr/local/* isn't searched by default, and never have been in BSD. Just because Linux is lame doesn't mean that we should be too. We shouldn't search /usr/local by default because PREFIX can be set to anything. We shouldn't search it because that may break other things.
