Description

Reproduction steps

Build source-build without explicitly exporting LD_PATH in fedora29.

Expected behavior

libgit2-7ce88e6 gets picked up automatically from source-build dotnet path after it fails to find it in the environment

Actual behavior

Without explicitly exporting the path, this fails on fedora but passes in other distros such as centos and ubuntu

Research direction

Reproduce source-build on the Fedora 29 Docker image, first without explicitly exporting LD_PATH, and compare the behavior with CentOS or Ubuntu. Trace how libgit2-7ce88e6 is searched after the environment lookup fails. Done means Fedora 29 picks up libgit2 automatically from the source-build dotnet path.
