It's not just a matter of GCC finding the right library: if it's a
dynamic library, the executable will have to find it too, and that's
where the problems may start.  If the library sonames are different,
there should be no problem if both are in /usr/local/lib.  But if
they're not, you may have to add -R/path/to/the/right/library to the
link command in order for the executable to find the appropriate
library at run-time.
