This might work. Create gcc wrapper scripts.

# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc.orig
# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++.orig

# mkdir /home/myname/compiler_wrappers

# cat /home/myname/compiler_wrappers/gcc
#!/bin/bash
LDOPT="-Wl,-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib"
exec /usr/bin/gcc.orig $LDOPT "$@"
^D

# cat /home/myname/compiler_wrappers/g++
#!/bin/bash
LDOPT="-Wl,-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib"
exec /usr/bin/g++.orig $LDOPT "$@"
^D

# chmod +x /home/myname/compiler_wrappers/*
# export PATH=/home/myname/compiler_wrappers:$PATH

And then build packages
