sys-libs/libtermcap-compat lacks preplib after doing dosym for a .so library, thus lacking /lib/libtermcap.so.2 after emerge.
ldconfig hand-fixes it, some apps looks apparently broken without it otherwise, and the users shouldn't need to do this.
Can also be fixed with an extra dosym.

postgresql 7.4.5 doesn't build because of this. config.log contains this:

configure:13552: checking test program
configure:13564: gcc -o conftest -march=i686 -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -D_GNU_SOURCE    conftest.c -lpam -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lreadline -ltermcap -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lbsd  >&5
configure:13567: $? = 0
configure:13569: ./conftest
./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Oh OK, forget about this. This seems to be a postgresql-bug.
