aout support in ldconfig hasn't been required since FreeBSD 2.x.
If someone needs to use FreeBSD 2 shared libraries they will be best
served by using a FreeBSD 2 ldconfig as well.
In aa5e1b42e6 we removed the ldconfig a.out invocation from rc.d but
left the support in ldconfig itself. Remove it now.

aout support in ldconfig hasn't been required since FreeBSD 2.x.
Anyone still using FreeBSD 2 shared libraries can also use a FreeBSD 2
ldconfig to generate aout ldconfig hints.

this check can be disabled with the "-i" option, which in turn can

a different file than the a.out hints, namely, "/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints".
These hints consist only of the directory search path. There is
no hash table as in the a.out hints, because ELF doesn't have to
search for the file with the highest minor version number. (It
doesn't have minor version numbers at all.)
A single run of ldconfig updates either the a.out hints or the ELF
hints, but not both. The set of hints to process is selected in
the usual way, via /etc/objformat, or ${OBJFORMAT}, or the "-aout"
or "-elf" command line option. The rationale is that you probably
want to search different directories for ELF than for a.out.
"ldconfig -r" is faked up to produce output like we are used to,
except that for ELF there are no minor version numbers. This should
enable "ldconfig -r" to be used for checking LIB_DEPENDS in ports
even for ELF.
I implemented the ELF functionality in a new source file, with an
eye toward eliminating the a.out code entirely at some point in
the future.

file based on the previous list of directories stored there which
should overcome a weakness of the '-m' switch which can only add
libs. This is an ideal way of updating the hints list after adding
or removing a shlib since it will remove entries that are gone and
doesn't need to have all the directories spelled out each time.
(eg: rm -f /usr/lib/libtcl75*; ldconfig -R) This only works for
version 2 hints files (which we've been generating for a year or
so) which store the path.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

This version of ld sync's us up with NetBSD's ld and supports compatablily
with NetBSD's -[zZ] flags (which we had reversed). Compiling with this
new ld will give you RRS warnings for libraries which do not contain .type
infomation - these wsarnings are harmless and will go away as soon as you
recompile your libraries (cd /usr/src; make libraries).
