I noticed some strangeness in some programs I'd compiled
that I then traced to this change:

> Log Message:
> Implement compiled-in library search paths: any `-L' argument encountered

I think this is a really bad idea.  There's a reason (several, in fact)
why nobody else uses this approach anymore.  I would much rather that
we use a separate option (-R or -rpath) to do this.  Then the 'disabled
for set[ug]id programs' restriction could also go away.
