Relying on the search *order* is a really bad idea IMHO. To make it
work, you'll also have to *ensure* the right order on runtime linking.

Why do you want to do that at all ?
Why not simply set up an proper sysroot which just contains exactly
the required libraries ? (and of course, take care that there're no
conflicting library names in the runtime system later).

Same as above: solve this issue by using a proper sysroot where
the libc (and other libs) you want to get used are installed, 
and nothing else.

Multiarch is another bad idea. Use _separate_ toolchains.
