Everything seems to be OK. Weird.

The only causes I can think of is that the system tries to start bash before
ldconfig(8) is run to update the hints file /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints. Or that
the hints file is inaccessible for some reason.

Since the dynamic linker only looks in /lib and /usr/lib by default, that
would make the linking with a library in /usr/local/lib fail.

But how that could happen I don't know.
