I'll have to agree with you here. I think it was a grave mistake for
FreeBSD to install packages into /usr/local/. We should have used
/usr/pkg/ as NetBSD did.
As GCC maintainer, I will not add /usr/local/lib to the list of
automatically looked places in the base compiler. For one it isn't
PREFIX clean.
[ Please remember one can set PREFIX=/usr/pkg and build the Ports
Collection ]
