When merging any package whatsoever, Portage will stupidly spend time regenating the ld.so cache, which is time-consuming and wasteful on lesser machines and laptops.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-java/oro
2. watch >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
3. be annoyed

Actual Results:  
The ld.so.cache is regenerated.

Expected Results:  
But it shouldn't, as dev-java/oro contains no executable files, much less any
.so-files.

supposed to be fixed in 2.0.50 which is stable now. If this bug is not fixed please reopen.
