Since this is your own, home baked "distro", it's not likely this 
problem will be found in other distros.

I have no idea what the LFS/BLFS books say about this, but on Debian 
(which should be pretty close to what the books say) there's a file in 
/etc called 'ld.so.conf' which defines the "system" libraries that will 
be searched by 'ld.so' to resolve library calls.  The content on my 
system includes /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib.

Changes to the content of the file require running the 'ldconfig' 
command to scan the defined library directories and setup the 
ld.so.cache file.
