Inhibit default library paths with gcc

Question

Is there a way to inhibit the default library path search with gcc? -nostdinc does this for the include path search, but -nostdlib, either by omiss

Answer 1

How about just setting the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable?

If I understand the question correctly, you want to do something like forcing the linker to look at a local library path before the default path, so you can just explicitly set that variable to control the order.
