Not much response last time, here we go again.
Libtool, for compilers other than gcc, does not usually care about the
compiler's internal search paths, and if it does, it is not very likely
to find .la files in there. In the case of gcc, libtool insists on
knowing the compilers internal search paths and adds them to
sys_lib_search_path_spec. This causes issues, some of which are because
of gcc's .la files containing the build directory, but not limited to
that. It is most likely to cause problems when building for a multilib
target.
I am proposing this as a patch. I do not really like it, but it does get
the paths "right" (for some definition of "right"). I would prefer to
remove the requirement that libtool know about the location of gcc's
libstdc++ etc. and just trust gcc to do the right thing, but that should
probably be left for another time.
Ok to apply to branch-1-5 and forward port to HEAD?

* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): If using gcc, check
the -L flags output by a test link command also to get a more
accurate value for sys_lib_search_path_spec.
