If the other method (ld.so.config) works, than the above should work too.
Did you maybe do

  $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/src/Xlib-threadsafe ~/bin/mnemonic
  $ ~/bin/mnemonic

If so, then you should have typed "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH".
If not, the only other option I can see is that ~/bin/mnemonic
is setuid (in that case, LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't used).

If that is true, then probably the best is to file a bug against
X.

Really should return the same (as I just deleted) without the
/etc/ld.so.conf addition.
