Ugh!

For my own purposes I use a config.site file (e.g. 
/usr/local/share/config.site) which supplies autoconf (`configure') 
defaults for a given installation prefix tree.  I make sure that it 
injects suitable LDFLAGS (e.g. LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib 
-R/usr/local/lib") into the configure script.  The required options 
depend on the compiler's defaults.

The above works well (like magic!) for the typical package with a 
configure script but not likely for packages depending on something 
like cmake.

This approach allows providing defaults on a per installation prefix 
basis so different installation prefixes can use different compilation 
options and libraries.

I am happy to share ...
