The linker option -L can be set with the environment variable LIBRARY_PATH, and the linker option -Wl,-rpath can be set with the LD_RUN_PATH environment variable. Is there an environment variable to set the -Wl,--dynamic-linker option? It would be useful for compiling stubborn packages that don't respect the LDFLAGS environment variable. (openssl is one such stubborn package, I've discovered). Alternatively, how can I modify the default `specs` file of GCC to add to the default linker options -L$prefix/lib -Wl,-rpath,$prefix/lib -Wl,--dynamic-linker $prefix/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 Thanks, Shaun https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Environment-Variables.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/ld.1.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpath
