Well, bc++5.02 online help for '-L' says:

   You can place more than one of each option on the
   command line, like this:
     BCC.EXE -Ldirname1 -Ldirname2 -Iinc1 -Iinc2 -Iinc3 myfile.c
   If you list multiple -L or -I options on the command line,
   the result is cumulative; the compiler searches all the
   directories listed in order from left to right

But that's wrong and you're right. My personal documentation says:

# Contrary to the borland documentation, library paths
# *must* be given as
#  /L$(bc_owl_path)/lib;$(bcXXXdir)/LIB \
# i.e. a single '/L' option with paths separated by a semicolon.
# This option:
#  /L$(bc_owl_path)/lib /L$(bcXXXdir)/LIB \
# will *not* work, even though the documentation says it will. It seems
# that the last '/L' option *replaces* any preceding '/L' options.

That works.

That does not work.
