Those were rhetorical questions, by the way - I was trying
to
emphasize that packages don't work around the problem
because the act
of building the package can trip over the problem.

That's why having a knob to allow the user to specify that
linux
ldconfig should not be run at install time would be useful. 
As you
rightly mention there are ports that run other linux
programs as well,
but these can be addressed case by case, whereas ldconfig is
in
bsd.*.mk and so it can be addressed more generally.

Anyway, I just wanted to answer the question posed asking
for examples where ld.so.cache need not be updated.
