Please note that dynamic linker (ld.so) is not compatible between
Linux C Library (libc5) and GNU C Library (libc6).  There are
ld-linux.so.1 for libc5, and ld-linux.so.2 for libc6.  I remember that
ldd is also different between two version (perhaps).

And more to say, libc6 doesn't use /etc/ld.so.conf.

My suggestion is that place ld-linux.so.2 in /lib.

Hope this helps,
