Open Source software assumes that this directory tree exists and is filled with 
useful and fitting software. Open Source software, like that managed by Fink, 
is written to look by default into that area for auxiliary software. New Open 
Source software to be installed would need to be patched first before configure 
or cmake could be invoked.

Plays no role for Fink. Thanks to some higher being?

Really not a good idea. It belongs to the system, Mac OS X. The bad thing is 
that you installed 3rd party software there instead of /usr/local/sbin.

dpkg -S ldconfig – if it came with a Fink package, which is much less likely 
than the discovery of the Higgs particle or some piece of dark matter (that is 
not dirt).

It's not part of any Mac OS X. (And presumingly it'll never be.) Look into the 
LOG files of your installations! Software installed by Mac OS X's 
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app writes its deeds into the 
/Library/Receipts tree, to be retrieved by lsbom.

Reinstall Mac OS X and choose HFSX, the Apple file system with upper case and 
lower case characters in file names. Of course journaled. Save some part of the 
disk for Linux. Install Oracle's (formerly Sun's) Virtual Box (or any other 
non-free hardware virtualiser) and your preferred Linux in it. Then cleanly 
install Fink again – if still needed. 
(http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/starting-anew/ describes how you can 
get back to the old state of installations.)

Finally install a tracker that records all file changes (so that you could find 
out in the future at least *when* in time another libc6.5 or ldconfig file was 
installed). I think "GFS logger" is a good keyword for this Mac OS X API.
