LD_LIBRARY_PATH mainly affects the dynamic linker, ld.so, not the
program linker.  ld.so is not part of the GNU binutils.

A native ELF linker will use LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a search path to find
referenced dynamic objects.  You can also use the -rpath option at
link time to set the search path which will be used at run time.  See
the documentation.
