I have libffi installed and it's in /usr/local/lib, yet the glib make process can't find it

It's definitely in /usr/local/lib!
bash-4.1# updatedb
bash-4.1# locate libffi.so.6
/usr/local/lib/libffi.so.6
/usr/local/lib/libffi.so.6.0.0
/home/mathmagi/src/libffi-3.0.11/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/.libs/libffi.so.6
/home/mathmagi/src/libffi-3.0.11/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/.libs/libffi.so.6.0.0
With glib I've tried
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure
Doesn't work.
How do I find where glib is looking and change it?
