Seems to work fine on Linux.  I'm looking at the code in
distutils.unixcompiler, which says,

         if sys.platform[:6] == "darwin":
            # MacOSX's linker doesn't understand the -R flag at all
            return "-L" + dir

This is a real problem with distutils; no one keeps up with the platforms.

So, I'll file a bug.  Should just fix this in setuptools, I think.
