this works great, except when creating shared libraries with libtool. for some reason, probably a good one but in this case ill-fated, when libtool links a shared a library, it ignores my $CFLAGS, wherein i point gcc to a custom specs file which contains my -R / -L directives. i remedy the situation by hacking the libtool script to include "-specs /path/to/my/specsfile" after both occurrences of "-shared", which works fine.
Linker options are supposed to be passed via LDFLAGS rather than CFLAGS. I don't believe that libtool knows anything about a -specs option. It does know about -L and -R options passed on the libtool command line. It seems likely that -Wl,-specs,/path/to/my/specsfile will work.
