Thanks for the explanation.
Can it pose a problem for the compile-from-source itself?
I "always" learned that in order to guarantee a succesfull build from
source (esp.3rd party binaries and packages being able to find the right
paths), I need to put the paths in ld.so.conf.

E.g. if certain sources (from packages or thirdparty) don't have the path
coded in and on build are looking for files in libdirs besides the emul (if
they don't have the search patch coded in), do I  "need" to use the
ld.so.conf or is there a magic override in a mk file to autocorrect when
compiling from such sources?

Even when the ldconfig-1.5 doesn't recognize the path set in
/etc/ld.so.conf?
