Comment (by nh2):

 Result on the binutils mailing list:

 > It is mostly just lookup convenience.  If you replace the -l option with
 the full path of the library that is found, the result will be almost
 identical.  The only differences I know of are error messages and the
 soname that will be used for a shared library with no DT_SONAME dynamic
 tag.
