You will see that LIBRARY_PATH has zero effect on things which (incorrectly) use ld directly. Note that disabling /usr/local/lib is impossible, it is hardcoded into ld:
The only ways to change it is to ld -Z to delete all of them, or the NEXT_ROOT env var
And to reply to myself, when I read this I hit myself on the head. Setting NEXT_ROOT to "/usr" would disable /usr/local/lib, it would make the search path '/usr/lib:/usr/usr/lib:/usr/usr/local/lib', of which only the first one is a real dir. This is, of course, academic, as everything uses gcc to link anyway, so LIBRARY_PATH is perfectly good for our needs.
