It's a "Working As Designed" - if the linker didn't behave that way, you couldn't add a -L/usr/local/lib and know what the results would be. (And if anything, /usr/local/lib is *more* standard, as it dates back to when X11 was still X10.4 - this X11R6 is a *newcomer*. Sun was recommending a /usr/local/lib on SunOS 3.2, well over 20 years ago....)
