Actually, it's quite right; there is no need to call ldconfig.
Your library is just called /usr/lib/librexxtk.so. Usually your
library should be called librexxtk.so.major.minor, and ldconfig will
make a symlink from that to librexxtk.so.major.
The problem is that your library has no soname. That's generally
bad. There are other libraries with just .so names that do still
have sonames.. actually, lintian doesn't know that your .so file even
IS a shared library. You need to modify the linking command in the
makefile.
