2 points:
1. you should remove /usr/local/lib/aout from your rc.config if you don't have
such a directory
2. if you take a look at the syntax in rc (above) it tests each directory in
your ldconfig_paths_aout string before appending them to _LDC anyway!
in short, your rc will execute the ldconfig command as:
ldconfig -aout /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout
You can verify this yourself by taking a cut-down version of rc and executing
it with -x. You'll see:
[...]
+ : /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout
+ _LDC=/usr/lib/aout
+ test -d /usr/lib/compat/aout
+ _LDC=/usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout
+ test -d /usr/X11R6/lib/aout

setting a.out ldconfig path: /usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout
+ ldconfig -aout /usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout

Actually, it is if you use make aout_to_elf and have aout libs to be moved.
