[Buildroot] Buildroot Patches I Use [3] - ldconfig -N opt

[Darcy Watkins]

This instructs the ldconfig not to build / rebuild the cache.  It was a
while back I encountered this and I have just carried it forward since.
Someone more expert should check this and decide on its appropriateness
for 2010.11 and/or future buildroot release.

Well all the point of calling ldconfig at this point is to create this
cache. So if we add -N to disable the cache build, what's the point of
calling ldconfig at all ?

Then I'm going to try building without the patch to see if it is OK to
toss it into the infinite bit sink.  Thx!

What is the problem you're having without the patch ?

I think I ran into difficulties a while back when using crosstool and
then an upgrade to a newer Fedora distribution.

I just ran a build of buildroot without the patch and using crosstool-ng
1.9.0 as an external toolchain.  Worked fine so to the bit sink the
patch goes.

Thx.
