It really does seem odd that /usr/local/ would be the default prefix
where things are installed on FreeBSD, yet it is not one of the default
paths that the compiler and linker on the same system would look.  If
that were the case, none of this would be a problem.

I'm not aware of any better solution.  I also do not think that it was
removed intentionally.  My suggestion would be to go ahead and commit
the patch you have proposed.
