I thought I'd run it before tarballing up the collection next time, then
the cache is just there.  I wasn't thinking straight when I
rm'ed it before :(.

Yes, we could run ldconfig automatically, but originally, you could
install the libs and not have the kernel support, so the ldconfig would
fail.  Now I believe that there's always at least enough kernel support
to run the lkm (right?).  So we could run something like
/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig || (/usr/bin/linux && /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig)'
right?  Are there any advantages over just supplying a cache? probably
preserving any other libs that were there before.
