Are you sure about that?  My botched upgrade left me without
/etc/ld.so.cache in place and the system appeared mostly functional: the
main problem I saw was a refusal to execute a few self-compiled binaries
(relying on shared libraries in non-standard places) and probably a
number of GUI-related stuff (fonts were wrong size and so on).  But
overall it was a "slightly defective but overall workable" situation
until I figure out I'd better run `ldconfig`.

So there must be a healthy dose of standard locations that are consulted
in the absence of the cache file.
