No; --with-libraries will control what's linked against. The problem
you face is that the dynamic linker has its own idea of how to resolve
the library references at runtime. (ldd just reports on what the
dynamic linker would do; there's no trace in the executable file of
exactly which copy of a shlib was linked against.)
