gcc-2.3.1 doesn't find libs

Hi.  I've compiled gcc-2.3.1 successfully (I thought) on a variety of 
architectures here: Sun 3, Sparc, SGI, MIPS, DEC stations.  Shortly
afterwards, I received complaints from 3 or 4 people that gcc wasn't finding
their libraries anymore.  This was something I noticed myself when I tried
building libg++ 2.2 for the MIPS.  During the test suite, -lg++ failed to
work and no amount of shuffling the library around would make gcc see it.
This was not a problem with gcc-2.2.2, however.  Is this a new bug?  Some of
the software I support uses really complex makefiles and I'd rather not edit
them to get -L/usr/gnu/lib in all of them.  Gcc also seems to be fussy about
static and shared libs.  (A couple of people here have complained of this as
well.)  If this is not an obvious bug, perhaps I should take a closer look
at my setup.  (I built it the same way I made gcc-2.2.2 and that worked.)
