Going back to the previous hints, and answering myself:

This bit of code in solib.c:solib_find appears to indicate that
if the dll isn't found in the sysroot, then it should be found in
the solib-search-path:

  /* If not found, next search the solib_search_path (if any) for the basename
     only (ignoring the path).  This is to allow reading solibs from a path
     that differs from the opened path.  */
  if (found_file < 0 && solib_search_path != NULL)
    found_file = openp (solib_search_path, OPF_TRY_CWD_FIRST,
                        lbasename (in_pathname), O_RDONLY | O_BINARY,
                        &temp_pathname);


but, lbasename on a linux box isn't considering '\' a path separator.
