At least on my config there is this side effect, I let you experience it, just
do "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/somewhere" with libany.so in it and then just
invoke gcc sample.c -o sample -lany. (export call is required, just passing the
env var at the same time does not reveal the side effect).

At least it is pretty clear we should not rely on this side effect :). I'll
update the patches and make another go on Linux and OS X.
