Yes. It's the correct behaviour, though. If you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH then
you always have to keep in mind that it is used by both FreeBSD and
Linux mode. Since both the FreeBSD and the Linux mode ldconfig(8) work,
you don't need it most of the time.

I think it would :-)

I think it can be added, since it's quite commonly the cause of
breakages. If I wasn't so swamp in other activities, I would have
updated the docs myself, but I don't think I have the time for that in
the near future. It would be great if you could come up with something.
