It shouldn't if binutils has been correctly configured.  For example,
a ld targetting powerpc-linux but running on an i868-linux host will
only search /usr/local/powerpc-linux/lib (assuming --prefix was
/usr/local).  You can also configure binutils with a sysroot, in which
case a cross ld has the same paths as a native one except that
everything is searched relative to the sysroot.
