This is the mulinux /etc/ld.so.conf:
-----------------------------------
/usr/vnc/lib
/usr/tcltk/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/local/lib
/gcc/usr/lib
-----------------------------------

It works like PATH variable; any entry is a directory for shared
libraries. I choose to provide a directory for shared libraries, one
for each addons. ldconfig scan any entry, and report warning. In fact,
you guess it, user load only a subset of available addons.
The fix is to put an error-redirection after the "ldconfig" command.
I fill fix.

Check the file /gcc/usr/bin/gccconfig: it create a lot of links
in the standard place: /usr/lib etc. Maybe, this command is not
perfect?
