When ldconfig hangs, it is in a mkstemp() call. The mkstemp()
function probably uses random numbers to generate unique file names:
#0 0x8054340 in read ()
#1 0x804c966 in mktemp ()
#2 0x804ca33 in arc4random_stir ()
#3 0x804cad9 in arc4random ()
#4 0x804c791 in mktemp ()
#5 0x804c692 in mkstemp ()
#6 0x804886a in write_elf_hints ()
#7 0x8048818 in update_elf_hints ()
#8 0x8048c61 in main ()
#9 0x8048139 in _start ()
