Currently ‘ld-wrapper’ builds the library search path as it encounters -L flags and uses the current search path when it encounters a -l flag.
This is contrary to what ld actually does (info "(ld) Options"): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- `-L SEARCHDIR' `--library-path=SEARCHDIR' […] All `-L' options apply to all `-l' options, regardless of the order in which the options appear. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This turns out to be fine when using GCC but manifests itself when using Clang, because Clang passes the -L flags that correspond to ‘LIBRARY_PATH’ after the -l flags on the ‘ld’ command line.
