linker SEARCH_DIR order

[Alan Modra]

Why is the default native linker search path in this order?
/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib $prefix/$target/lib

Wouldn't it be more sense to be reversed, or to match gcc,
$prefix/$target/lib /usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib ?

The idea being that $prefix/$target/lib has anything that's
particularly target dependent, and /usr/local is the place
where new tools and libs are installed, so should override
/lib and /usr/lib.  Comments?
