Thats what the "ldconfig $OLDLIBS" line is for. ldconfig sets up the symlinks so that it should work properly. I'm thinking that the setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is getting ignored or trampled at some point. Could you retry with the DEBUG flag enabled, and add a few echos to see whats happening?

> perhaps its not getting symlinks?

after doing some looking around i noticed (on a random glibc library)
afrayedknot@thefrayedknot:/lib$ gaze install glibc|grep "^/lib/\|^/usr/lib" |grep libdl
/lib/libdl-2.3.1.so
/usr/lib/libdl.a
/usr/lib/libdl_p.a
afrayedknot@thefrayedknot:/lib$ ls -l /lib/libdl*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12547 Nov 2 02:00 /lib/libdl-2.3.1.so
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Nov 2 02:01 /lib/libdl.so.2 -> libdl-2.3.1.so
afrayedknot@thefrayedknot:/lib$

it appears that libdl.so.2 (a symlink to libdl-2.3.1.so) isnt in our
list of things installed, and it gets missed by the save_libraries
routine. this probably happens to something important and when the real
library gets trampled on the symlink is invalid, and its all history
from there.
