This was not a TLS enabled build apparently though, so it would mean:
search path=/usr/lib/tls/ev68:/usr/lib/tls/ev67:/usr/lib/tls/ev6:/usr/lib/tls/pca56:/usr/lib/tls/ev56:/usr/lib/tls/ev5:/usr/lib/ev68:/usr/lib/ev67:/usr/lib/ev6:/usr/lib/pca56:/usr/lib/ev56:/usr/lib/ev5
(times the number of entries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH+RPATH).
That sounds too much to me, others may disagree.
