You would need to use ld-wrapper, not ld, so that ld-wrapper sets the
RUNPATH appropriately.

But this won’t fix the problem above.  The problem above is that glibc
is not in the search path.  To fix that, a simple fix would be to add a
wrapper atop ld-wrapper (!) that would add “-L /gnu/store/…-glibc/lib”.

Perhaps there are more elegant ways to achieve it though.  How is ld
invoked?  Would it work to add that -L flag directly in the code that
invokes ld?

HTH!
