I think a better fix would be to make the setup.py function use the
compiler method of the same name, by putting this in setup.py instead
of the existing function:

def find_library_file(compiler, libname, std_dirs, paths):
    result = compiler.find_library_file(std_dirs + paths, libname)
    if result is None:
        return None

    # Check whether the found file is in one of the additional directories
    for p in paths:
        # Ensure path ends with path separator
        if not p.endswith(os.sep):
            p += os.sep
        if result.startswith(p):
            return [p]

    return []

Otherwise a similar bug can show up again down the road if there's a
fourth kind of shared library.  I can't get to my Mac at the moment;
anyone want to test this?  (Otherwise I'll test it this evening...)
