You have a library like libGL linked against libstdc++ and want to link
against it. Using binutils 2.12, ld find libGL, the dependency and searches
/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints for libstdc++. Using binutils 2.14, ld doesn't do
that and complains. That can/does break builds e.g. of XFree86 with gcc3.

The proper solution would be to remove ldconfig and go with rpath for all
libs, but that's not possible with the FreeBSD ports tree and therefore
is delayed until we have our own build system in place.
