>Description:
	Wrong use of ldconfig makes system unusable.
	Afterwards you cannot exec any program. Even boot into single user
	mode failed. (I don't understand this, but removing
	/var/run/ldconfig.hints seemed to help.)
>How-To-Repeat:
	I did "ldconfig /usr/lib32" on AMD64
>Fix:

	Several fixes are possible. My favourite is making critical binaries
	static again.
