Ok, so I checked, and on Solaris the searchpath is:
1) LD_LIBRARY_PATH
2) rpath
3) default path
on NetBSD's ELF platforms:
1) rpath
2) LD_LIBRARY_PATH
3) default path
Greg was right that search paths get prepended in ld.elf_so, but
rpath is searched in a seperate loop, before the other search path
that gets prepended to.
Solaris' order seems correct to me; you have to be able to override
rpath. A possible ld.so.conf or whatever it is called should be last.
