LD_LIBRARY_PATH tends to override anything else. Don't use that for
anything but to run specific binaries which need it.

Since this was a gnu/linux system, the usual way to make ld.so search
/usr/local/lib is via files under /etc/ld.so.conf.d (even if that's
system global, unlike LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

Right, precisely which internal functions get included in the library
depends on both platform and configure arguments.
