[Scons-users] Force scons to use local libraries over system libraries

[Bill Deegan]

Hsuan,

If you're trying to build gem5, you should probably ask there first how to
make this change.
Every project implements their build system with SCons differently and so
to answer your question would take a bit of time to understand what they've
done.
Additionally it's possible they have added command line flags to specify
the location of libz..

Please ask there first and then if they are unable to help you, come back.

-Bill
