It allows the use of any sysctl variable in /etc/ld.so.conf.  I can't say
it is a must have, but it's clearly handy in some case, such as with
third-party libraries and such that would depend on specific features of
the kernel.

That's why I ask if those 12k are worth the feature, but nobody commented
on that yet.
