I was just looking at a patch to do roughly this. Mine added a
USE_LDCONFIG_CONF_D flag, and then had eglibc's install create the directory
and append that line to ld.so.conf if the flag was set. I'm not sure whether
the extra functionality justifies the effort. I would suggest that, if
this is going to be unconditionally present, the directory should be too.
