A curious question, for anyone who might know.

Why, in the LLVM instructions, do we go to such lengths to put all the
libraries in a subdirectory of /usr/lib, only to add an entry to
ld.so.conf to ensure everything can find them?

I ask because I missed that last bit without noticing at the time, only
to have some other package try and run clang and fail with library
loading issues. And neither the book, nor the patch offers any
explanation of why we want to "fix installation paths for libraries".

Note - I'm aware that the patch also fixes the locations of stuff
in /etc and /usr/share/doc, no problem there. It's just the reasons for
forcing everything into /usr/lib/llvm that has me puzzled.

Simon.
