At least on my system the dynamic linker if configured via /etc/ld.so.conf and LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains only addtionaly directories, so the libraries wouldn't be found that way, but the basic idea make sense. MakeMaker somehow knows the library search path (and include search path) already, I guess we can utilize it, but I don't know how. Maybe somebody likes to explore the unlimited possibilities of MakeMaker for that purpose...
