Nope.  Gentoo defaults include /usr/local/lib*.  So no need to
add them to LD_LIBARAY_PATH.

I think you have that backwards.  We should do what POSIX wants, as
that has a chance to work almost everywhere.  Trying to understand
all the ways that distros do it is a lot of work.

Yup.  Mostly what differs from Fedora to gentoo is the defaults.

Much easier to jsut do it once, the POSIX way.

I think LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the POSIX way to do it.

Gonna be a lot of corner casaes with $PREFIX, $DESTDIR, etc.
