I remember that behavior from non-Linux OSes, yes.
However, if the link editor finds /usr/local/lib/libz.a, then
it ought to also find /usr/local/lib/libz.so, and this is
because the link editor is not the same as the runtime linker,
as controlled by ld.so.conf:

But on GNU/Linux, having /usr/local/lib in ld.so.conf is normally
not needed because it is already hardcoded.
