[Bug documentation/4326] make all fails if '.' on execution path

OK.  In this case, it does not seem appropriate to add documentation.
That's because putting "." at the front of one's PATH has long been
known as a grossly insecure configuration.  Having a conflicting ld
 is the least of your problems.  Consider

% cat /naughty/place/ls
#! /bin/sh
rm -rf $HOME
% cd /naughty/place
% ls
