FYI I had this too. Especially ldconfig, but also a lot of other
programs would fail. Only on paulus' tree. I am currently running olaf's
patches against 2.4.1 and they work ok so far.
http://penguinppc.org/~olaf/linux-2.4.1/
(There are patches for 2.4.2 too, just do the obvious modification to
the above url. But that 2.4.1 one is the stuff I am running currently.)
I guess it might be fixed by now in Paulus' tree. This machine is a
Pismo.
Now, onto another weird problem. I am currently having some strange
stuff happening with airport and NFS. If I use the internal ethernet,
NFS works as well as NFS can work. But if I use it with airport, it
blocks after a while. I get this stuff on my kern.log:

And I can ping the machine fine. Everything else works on the network.
The problem is fixed temporarily by doing ifdown/ifup or by remounting
the NFS volume.
And it only happens with NFS. If I scp large files accross the airport
to another machine, it has absolutely no problems.
And I have no clue. Eek. Sometimes I wish I could code a bit more than
the daily perl spaghetti.. :-(
I didnt notice this problem with 2.2 kernels. Has anyone else had
anything like this?
