	ls -l /sbin/ldconfig
>Fix:
	Unknown.

	My attempt to compile from the source snapshot failed, because
	it didn't find shlib.h.  I don't yet know if that's my fault
	or not; I just installed -current last night, and haven't had
	had a chance to build anything else yet.

i386-current has no ldconfig because it's on ELF, see other mail.

 It's perfectly OK that -current i386 has no ldconfig.

 NetBSD/i386 -current is using ELF as an object format, and as such
 doesn't provide any functionality like ldconfig previously offered.
 In contrast, you compile the paths where shared libs can be found 
 into the binaries now.

 I'll close the PR because of this.

 NetBSD - because Unix isn't just #include <linux.h>, i386, ILP32, ELF, ...!

 i386 has converted to ELF and ldconfig(8) is a strictly a.out thing.
