For ELF systems there does not seem to be much point in running
/etc/rc.d/ldconfig to generate the 'a.out runtime link editor
directory cache'. At the very least there should be an rcvar
for it, and I would suggest defaulting it to 'off'.
The only port that is still a.out is pc532, which is stuck at
1.5.3 anyway.
Would anyone have any objections to such a change?
