Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 14.04.1 x86 uses wrong library search path order
I was trying to link an app against /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libEGL.so.1, but at
runtime it kept finding /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa-egl/libEGL.so.1. This is
fixable several ways (including using -rpath or LD_LIBRARY_PATH), but I thought
there might be something odd with the default library search order. I noticed
the the search order defined by /etc/ld.so.conf causes
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa-egl to be searched before /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu,
because /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_EGL.conf is found before
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/i686-linux-gnu.conf.
Suggested solutions (caveat: I don't fully understand why something things are
named i386-* vs i686-*. ):
1. rename /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i686-linux-gnu.conf to
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu.conf, it would work as I expect and the linker
would search /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu before /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa-egl
2. move the search path for /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu from
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/i686-linux-gnu.conf into a new
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu.conf
3. rename /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_EGL.conf to
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/i686-linux-gnu_EGL.conf
> more /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
> more /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

14.04 x86_64 doesn't have this issue because the conf file names all
start with x86_64* and are read in the expected order.
