--- Comment #12 from Matthew Miller <[email protected]> ---
I agree with Colin's assessment that the FHS doesn't really cover this
situation well. From the section on /var:

   /var is specified here in order to make it possible to mount /usr
   read-only. Everything that once went into /usr that is written to
   during system operation (as opposed to installation and software
   maintenance) must be in /var.

But here, we're talking about stuff that is written specifically and only
during "installation and software maintenance". That's just not
well-accounted-for in the spec. Generate-at-build-time as I suggest above might
(I hope) work for fontconfig, but it won't for /etc/ld.so.cache -- and I guess
that living in /etc may be a reflection of the above problem.
