Yes, it is passing multiple -L's to the linker.  Is that in itself a 
problem?  Doesn't the linker check in the -L order and stop when the 
sought library is found?

As far as testing, this patch has been applied to the pkgsrc clang 3.1 
package.  I know it works for the current release featuring gcc 4.7, and 
verifying gcc 4.4 should be a simple matter of checking an earlier 
DragonFly release that doesn't have gcc 4.7 available, so I can do that.

I was just trying to keep the patch simple.
