>Description:
	ld.elf_so is configured to use a default shared object search path
	of "/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib".  This is bogus in two ways:

	1) unlike ld.elf_so, ld.aout_so is configured to use a default
	   shared object search path of "/usr/lib" only, and has been so
	   ~forever, and

	2) the /usr/local hierarchy, albeit taken into consideration by
	   NetBSD.dist, is not actually supported by NetBSD in any manner
	   (see also the lenghty discussion on <tech-userlevel@netbsd.org>
	   regarding its proposed removal from NetBSD.dist).

	I propose the removal of /usr/local/lib from the default search path,
	and will proceed unless there are reasonable objections.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Code inspection.

>Fix:
