The ldconfig handling needs love. We even try to run ldconfig on the
build machine at the end of the build, and we have a very old patch
sitting about this: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/255486/.
Someone needs to look which C library needs ldconfig, and which
doesn't, and take actions to clean this up.
Best regards,
Thomas
