Same mechanism there too - Debian/Ubuntu also use /etc/ld.so.conf and/or /etc/ld.so.conf.d. You dont see it because you only deal with binary packages when updating in Debian/Ubuntu.

When you say Gentoo, do you mean Portage? Remember Windows has a lot of limitations that WILL get in your way so dont be surprised when things break.
