There are a LOT of bogons like this in our system where somebody bandaided something to make it work and it either went unnoticed or has simply never been important enough in anyone's eyes to immediately fix, but its historical precedence doesn't make it "right". In this case, it's very plain to me that if we want to make a `magic' directory in FreeBSD like /usr/local/lib, the place to do it is NOT in the compiler, it's in the appropriate makefile macros! You can still make it every bit as `default' if you really wish to, but NOT in the compiler! It's simply the wrong place, IMNSHO. Jordan
