The ldconfig behaviour is intentional AFAICT. It seems to come from the
following upstream ChangeLog entries:
2003-08-26 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
* elf/ldconfig.c (search_dir): When checking for GNU-style .so
link file use the real file name, not the resolved name we got
by
following the symlinks.
2003-08-25 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
* elf/ldconfig.c (search_dir): Treat symlink as regular file
if it won't point to itself unless it is .so symlink for the
linker.
I'm looking more into this to figure out what's supposed to happen.
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
