Summary:                    [patch] make install with destdir under fakeroot:
ldconfig permission denied
Description: 
When I try to build libss7 as a Debian package, I get the following error:

if test $(id -u) = 0; then /sbin/ldconfig; fi
/sbin/ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~:
Permission denied

This is because I run the build under fakeroot, and hence id reports '0'.

I can think of two ways around this:

1. finer conditions. E.g: if DESTDIR is set, don't run ldconfig . 
2. first try without -n . If that does not work: use -n.

(2) seems simpler and hence more robust.

It also allows me to get rid of the explicit 'ln -s' command above (we
already use ldconfig to create the same symlink locally). Attached a patch
to do that.

And while I was there: a shared library does not need to be executable.
