Linking error in gfortran with devtoolset-6

Question

I have system with CentOS 6.4 and it comes with GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18).

I am doing quadrupule precision calculation and for that I installed devtoolset-6 w/o a problem. Since the system has a default gcc/gfortran installed, i cleared the shell with

env -i bash

and following that i set the devtoolset-6 environment

scl enable devtoolset-6 bash 

If i check the installed gcc and gfortran version, they are as following

gcc (GCC) 6.3.1 20170216 (Red Hat 6.3.1-3)
GNU Fortran (GCC) 6.3.1 20170216 (Red Hat 6.3.1-3)

so far so good. I also have a testing example given below

implicit double precision(a-h,o-z)
print * , ' i:'
read(5,*) i
if(i.le.0) stop
a=i
b=sqrt(a)
print * , b
c=b*b
print * , c
end

compiled with

gfortran -fdefault-real-8 -o test.exe test.F

When i try to compile i am getting the following error

(.text+0x20): undefined reference to main' /tmp/cc7n6vIv.o: In functionljacoeff_':test.F:(.text+0xf0): undefined reference to _gfortran_transfer_real128_write' test.F:(.text+0x16b): undefined reference to_gfortran_transfer_complex128_write' test.F:(.text+0x1ea): undefined reference to `_gfortran_transfer_complex128_write' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

At first, i thought the _gfortran_transfer_real128_write function is not defined and checked the library comes with devtoolset-6 using default "nm" command and indeed that function is defined in libgfortran.a. After some debugging and more debugging i discovered the "-v" option and recompiled the code, then noticed something confusing looks like ld checks the system old libraries instead of the one comes with devtoolset-6. The LIBRARY_PATH includes the /usr/lib/../lib64/ folder and that causes the error. In any case, If the linker couldn't find these function, it should also check the devtoolset-6 libraries. Looks like this doesn't happen. How could i resolve this linking error?

Driving: gfortran -v -fdefault-real-8 -o test.exe test.F -l gfortran -l m -shared-libgcc Using built-in specs.
