You may well have encountered a bug in the linker.  The --with-lib-path 
configure switch is supposed to control where the linker will look for 
libraries.

If you can reproduce this problem using the latest sources in the 
binutils CVS repository then please submit a bug report, including a 
small working example of the problem, via the binutils bugzilla system at:
