1.5.22 running ldconfig for unknown reason

Hi,

I have not investigated the following, so for a start I would just
like to know whether the following is expected or not (doesn't
seem to be):

address@hidden ~/src/urbi/kernel1 $ sudo make install -C _build/aibo/src
Password:
make  install-am
sed -e 's/libdir=.*/libdir=/' \
   -e 's/installed=.*/installed=no/' \
   .libs/libkernel.lai >libkernel.lai.new
mv -f libkernel.lai.new .libs/libkernel.lai
test -z "/usr/local/gostai/kernel/include/parser/bison" ||
/Users/akim/src/urbi/kernel1/build-aux/install-sh -d
"/usr/local/gostai/kernel/include/parser/bison"
/bin/sh /Users/akim/src/urbi/kernel1/build-aux/install-sh-c -c -m 644

test -z "" || /Users/akim/src/urbi/kernel1/build-aux/install-sh -d ""

../libtool: line 1: ldconfig: command not found
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
  /usr/local/gostai/kernel/mipsel-linux/aibo

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
  - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
    during execution
  - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
    during linking
  - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
  - have your system administrator run these commands:
      PATH="$PATH:/sbin" ldconfig -n /usr/local/gostai/kernel/mipsel-linux/aibo

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


As you can see ldconfig is run although the library is not
dynamic (and besides, it's cross-compiled, so I'm not sure
it makes sense anyway, but how could it know it?).  And it
doesn't seem to catch the failure, which is a bug I guess.

I'm not sure my situation is really valid, as I already started
to discuss with Ralf in the following unfinished thread (lack
of time...).
