[issue640553] Misuse of /usr/local/in setup.py

[Sébastien Sablé]

Sébastien Sablé <sable at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I can only bypass this by explicitly specifying -L/usr/lib so that it will take precedence over -L/usr/local/lib.

But this behavior is still broken...
"Explicit is better than implicit."
I can see no reason why /usr/local should be implicitly added; people that really need it can always do export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib"
