Actually, I have been using gcc -v, but its output does not contain
"-L/usr/local/lib". For example,

$ gcc -v -o j j.c -lpth

The following default directories have been omitted from the search path:

End of omitted list.

So from the above, it is clear that Cygwin gcc 2.95.2-7 will search
/usr/local/include for #include files. However, there is no indication
that it will search /usr/local/lib for library files. But, libpth.a is
only located in /usr/local/lib in my system. How does collect2 find it?

I just tried the old faithful, strings:

$ strings /usr/bin/ld.exe | fgrep /usr/local/lib
SEARCH_DIR(/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/local/lib);
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib);
SEARCH_DIR(/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/local/lib);
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib);
SEARCH_DIR(/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/local/lib);
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib);

The above appears to indicate that ld's default library search path is:

/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib

Is there any way to get ld to tell us this information without resorting
to strings?

Thanks,
Jason
