As said in the "DESCRIPTION" part of the manpage for ldconfig:

"ldconfig creates the necessary links and cache  to  the  most  recent
shared  libraries  found  in  the  directories specified on the command
line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted directories (/lib
and  /usr/lib)."

Shortly that means that it refreshes its cache from everything specified
on command line, /etc/ld.so.conf and the directories /lib and /usr/lib.
