State of afairs:
a- we use linker scripts for linux-user and bsd-user
b- we don't use linker script on darwin-user
c- ia64 uses linker script for target-softmmu (only arch at all)

The reason for changing the SEARCH_PATH is because:
a- We changed to use a LIBS variable for everything
b- In x86_64, it is common to have locally compiled libraries in
   /usr/local/lib not /usr/local/lib64 (case of libvdeplug.so
   for Anthony.

What to do?
a- revert back to use diferent LIBS variable for each binary
b- change the linker scripts search path, and don't allow ever
   user compiled libraries when using a linker-script.

Thanks for the input about the liker scripts use.

Later, Juan.
