We needn't have /usr/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf.  man 8 ldconfig
says below.  It's from -current src in ftp.netbsd.org, so
i'm not sure if it fit to 1.3(.x), though.

     -S      Do not scan the built-in system directory (``/usr/lib''), for
             shared libraries.  (Directories listed in /etc/ld.so.conf are
             still scanned.)
