The problem that you're solving here seems like fundamentally a distro
one.  I remain slightly sceptical that the whole concept of ldconfig
makes a lot of sense for the majority of oe-core users and, for those
for whom it does, I don't entirely understand why it doesn't suffice to
have the packages with unusual requirements install an appropriate file
in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and the distro arrange for /etc/ld.so.conf to
include all of those.

So, can you provide a bit more explanation as to why this patch is a
good thing?
