Comment (by wbhart):
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. LDCONFIG is intended to be
executed by the Makefile. I don't see where I said it was to be executed
by configure. Of course I meant to use true in lieu of ldconfig, not
LDCONFIG.
/dev/null doesn't work on some systems (the build fails) because
permission to execute /dev/null is denied. Unfortunately, such systems
don't set a meaningful uname and so we can't even detect them. true seems
to be more portable than /dev/null, at least until someone decides it is a
security threat and stops people executing it, as happened with /dev/null.
I will try to clean up when LDCONFIG is set to something other than true.
I think having it bomb out with an error is not the right strategy. Even
on systems that set FLINT_SOLIB, if they don't have ldconfig it is most
likely because they don't need it, in which case configure shouldn't just
exit.
