   - Mark and Roland, ldconfig is now also build for the Hurd.  Is this
     ok?

Probably not.  The first line of sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-cache.c says:

   Stubby version of dl-cache; the Hurd doesn't support this "feature".

I tend to agree.  Even under Linux I don't use ldconfig.

Ultimately, on a correctly configured Hurd all shared libraries will appear
under /lib by using nifty Hurdish features.

Anyway, unless Roland and/or Thomas change their mind, ldconfig is
useless on the Hurd, so it would be better if you could arrange things
such that ldconfig is only built and installed for Linux.
