Great. Are you worrying about older versions of ld-linux not being
able to parse /etc/ld.so.conf anymore? Otherwise the format could be
as simple as:
/lib
/lib/libc5 1
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libc5 1
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libc5 1
I don't think anything more complicated than an integer to check
against the major version number of ld-linux is needed.
In case it wasn't obvious, the standard library locations, /lib,
/usr/lib, /usr/X11R6/lib, etc., would never have a version number.
Only the special locations would. All the 1's above would become 2's
if we ever need to move to libc7.
