/lib is in the default path (note that /usr/lib is not, because /usr is
symlinked to /), while everything else needs to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
In the past, it was the opinion of the Hurd developers that -rpath is the
correct solution for non-standard places. With glibc 2.2, I think that
RUNPATH is the way to go.
