Nope. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is looked at in addition (and before) the
rest of the search path as defined in the cache file and the default
path. See ld.so(8).

I wouldn't do that - it sounds like he wanted some sort of a local
development/test environment and mistakenly got his shell
session "taken over" by it..

Not according to the manual both of us reffer to (mine
is on Debian Sarge).
What I'd do is to setup a shell script which will set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
set the prompt to mark the "special environment" and start an interactive shell,
maybe:
1. In your regular environment:
alias oldgccshell="/bin/bash -rcfile $HOME/.oldgccrc"
2. have something like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/new/path1:/new/path2:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PS1="oldgcc $PS1"
in $HOME/.oldgcc
