This should be done in $BUILD/src/paths.h. Define the path list as you would a path environment variable -- a colon seperated list of directories. #define PATH_LOADSEARCH "/usr/src/gnu/dist-18.55/contrib:/usr/src/gnu/dist-18.55/lisp" Reverse them if you want distribution files with conflicting names to be loaded by default.
