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:

Cheers
