There's a comment in configure.in (for freebsd though) that sounds related:

   ## Let `ld' find image libs and similar things in /usr/local/lib.
   ## The system compiler, GCC, has apparently been modified to not
   ## look there, contrary to what a stock GCC would do.
   LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM=-L/usr/local/lib

This dates from at least Emacs 21 (was in src/s/freebsd.h there).
