 Huh?
 
 I suspect g++/ld knew where the correct library was when they generated
 the executable, so why isn't that info in the executable for startup?  Why
 is it a good thing that it isn't?
 
 In other words, are you saying that I have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 correctly before I start each executable....  (There are at least two ways
 to end up with different libraries that have the same base name+extension,
 so if the lookup is by file base name+extension, there's no way to have a
 single LD_LIBRARY_PATH that is always correct at startup.)
