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.

Fix ldconfig error when building with fakeroot

This patch copies the built shared libraries along with the symlinks.
Also,
ldconfig is always attempted with errors ignored since while using
fakeroot
updating the cache will fail. People running making install not as root
are
going to encounter problems before the removed root check anyway.
