Possible reasons include: (1) ELF-aware package.  Even in 1.3.x, some
packages worked fine with private libraries, e.g., anything that used imake
or somehow arranged for the X machinery to do the link.  Or (2) because
/usr/lib is a built-in default. For questionable reasons, /usr/local/lib
was also, but I believe this changed recently.

It works either way. (At least in -current.) And I just tried it from the
-current pkgsrc and note that a third working option is what's actually
used:

	-Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib.

Hmm. You "win" twice here. 1.4 pkgsrc, and an a.out (not yet ELF) port.
Note that pkgsrc doesn't do every package with ELF-aware commands.  Just
a lot more than it used to, and with a lot of libtool-ing.
