Yes, so that it is in your environment -anytime- you run a configure
script.  Note that not all those configure scripts will create proper
LDFLAGS in your Makefiles.  You need to monitor that; for each -L in the
linking output there needs be a corresponding -R.

Considering c-shell you might also want to read this:

Solaris run-time linker, ld.so.1, does not even recognize that LD_RUN_PATH
value.  man ld.so.1  It does not even appear in the ld.so(8) man page for
Linux.

EMACS is a GNU utility.  I don't know about a publicly readable CVS
repository for it, but you might check at http://www.gnu.org.
