How do I influence the run-time search path for dlls? I tried
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PATH, with no success.

I've build a binary against the build directory of a library, which leaves
the library in ${SRC}/.libs (a libtool convention, I believe), by passing in
-L${SRC}/.libs. The link went ok, but when I run it reports "error while
loading shared libraries: foo.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory".

I also note that ldd doesn't behave as I'd hoped. It lists ntdll, kernel32,
and KERNELBASE, but not the library I've linked against. How do I get the
list of libraries I've linked against?

Could the "No such file" error be due to a transitive dependency?
