Sorry I wasn't aware this is important for you (you can have e.g. a patch
section in rpm .spec files which is exactly designed partly to solve such
source -> binary packaging issues) and unfortunatley I didn't and don't
have the time right now to explain why both of your patches are basically
incorrect. It works for __your__ but it breaks working scenarios for
__others__.

Bingo! When you silence, ignore the error automatically then you hide an
important step which may be forgotten by packagers. We do receive such
errors after binary package installations.

It doesn't always work. Some people want it even with DESTDIR, or don't
want it during 'make install'. So it should be either a configure option to
run or not to run during make install, or it should be solved in the binary
package alongside running ldconfig during postinstallation.

I don't think it's a distribution-specific local hack but a step for binary
packaging. The configure option (default to run ldconfig) would be also
welcome and it would be applied right away.
