LD_LIBRARY_PATH mainly affects the dynamic linker, ld.so, not the
program linker. ld.so is not part of the GNU binutils.
A native ELF linker will use LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a search path to find
referenced dynamic objects. You can also use the -rpath option at
link time to set the search path which will be used at run time. See
the documentation.
