Yeah, that's exactly what I tested, compare /etc/ld.so.cache generated
by non-patched ldconfig with patched ldconfig when
/var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache was missing, then with the cache, then with
-i.  I also looked at strace output to see how the caching was effective.
When working on the patch I had a buglet in it too which caused all
SONAMEs returned from the aux cache contain unitialized memory data,
it created wonderful symlinks all over my */lib{,64} directories.
But the version I posted seemed to work well.
