ldconfig shouldn't be that hard. My suspicion about this that your 
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/mozilla file isn't getting included. I've never had a 
system with that directory, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to work. 
Is there some kind of include directive in the main ld.so.conf file that 
causes the files to be read at runtime? Or perhaps you're supposed to 
run a script to generate /etc/ld.so.conf from the files in 
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/.
