>Description:
When linking executables with ld(1), /usr/local/lib -- the seemingly `standard' location for 3rd-party libraries -- isn't searched. This means that it must be explicitly included in the list with -L/usr/local/lib.
The odd thing is that it seems to have been removed from FreeBSD's version of binutils, but existed in the original distribution.
>How-To-Repeat:
Link a program against a library in /usr/local/lib.
>Fix:
Include `:/usr/local/lib' in the _${ARCH}_path variables from the Makefiles in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/ld/.
Or just keep the original genscripts.sh.
