I don't understand why you would want to do that. I am not much of a *nix
expert but I thought that "local" basically implies that you are *not*
cross-compiling? Libraries for Linux & MinGW targets can't be mixed so it
seems incorrect to put MinGW libraries in /usr/local. Perhaps there is
another default search directory you can use if you don't want to install
your libraries in the cross-compiler tree itself, or else an environment
variable (try the GCC manual). If that doesn't work another option might be
to modify the "specs" file.
