Why not just source ld.so.conf if it exists then you
can have either behavior depending on what is in ld.so.conf:
/etc/rc
[...]
_LDC=/usr/lib
if [ -d /usr/lib/compat ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/lib/compat" ; fi
if [ -d /usr/X11R6/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/X11R6/lib" ; fi
if [ -d /usr/local/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/local/lib" ; fi
echo 'setting ldconfig path:' ${_LDC}
if [ -f /etc/ld.so.conf ]; then
. /etc/ld.so.conf
fi
ldconfig ${_LDC}
[...]
and ld.so.conf can contain something like
${_LDC}="${_LDC} /my/new/lib/dir"
for append behavior or
${_LDC}="/usr/X11R6/lib /my/new/lib/dir /usr/local/lib"
for override behavior.
