I got around it by defining the -L option at the level of the config files.
Basically, the following is what I did to get things to work:

in config/site.mcr:

        MIPSLIBC_G0 = /systems/pmax/usr/lib/mips_G0/libc_G0
        XLIBDIR = /systems/pmax/usr/lib/mips_G0
        XSRCDIR = /sources/pmax/X11/mit/
        XUTILDIR = /systems/pmax/usr/bin/X11
        XBASEDIR = /systems/pmax
        ROOTDIR = /systems/pmax
        BASEDIR = /systems/pmax/usr/andrew
        DEFAULT_ANDREW_ENV = /systems/pmax/usr/andrew
        MAKEDOFLAGS = -L/systems/pmax/usr/lib/mips_G0 ${MAKEDODEBUG} \
	 -d ${BASEDIR}/lib -b ${BASEDIR}/bin


in config/allsys.mcr: (this is needed because these are not read,
properly, from the other files in time to make the Makefiles correctly.

        XBASEDIR = /systems/pmax
        XSRCDIR = /services/X11/mit/
        BASEDIR = /systems/pmax/usr/andrew
        DESTDIR = /systems/pmax/usr/andrew

in config/pmax_3/system.mcr:

        CC = cc -Dvoid=int -G 0 "-Wl,-D,1000000" \
	 -L/systems/pmax/usr/lib/mips_G0

Also, if you define AMDS, you'll need to get "mpp" (why anyone chose
to implement Yet Another Macro Preprocessor when there are at least
half a dozen floating around for Unix is beyond me, (let alone why
it is copyrighted by IBM and part of the Transarc code)!

If you have already gotten past the build of the examples, the
make world will fail because it quits if the ".eh" files already
exist (which I why I also remove /usr/andrew before a "make world").

Also, unless you figure out something that I didn't, you'll need to
actually run X11R4 (not DECWindows), to get Andrew to run. Otherwise
the applications will start but the fonts, cursors, and icons will
be screwed up.

Don't forget that building AMDS will destroy your system mailer
unless you make the BASEDIR changes (this might have been fixed
with Patchlevel 6), since it overwrites /usr/lib/sendmail, /bin/mail,
and other things without asking and NOT part of "make install" but
rather as part of "make world").

Other than that it was easy.
