OK, so I don't think this will affect the run of the mill LFS build.
The only way that ld.so.conf is searched is if ld is the native linker
or --with-sysroot was used. I haven't quite pegged down how the
native linker is determined, but it's not the one installed in /tools.
And the native linker only searches /etc/ld.so.conf, not
${prefix}/etc/ld.so.conf.
OTOH, passing --with-sysroot looks like it will use
${sysroot}/etc/ld.so.conf. Maybe an enterprising cross-builder can
try to take advantage of this.
