Thanks for the reply


I posted a bug and also the same question to the embedded list since it 
seems like a uclibc issue

I had the same first thought as you, but the ordering should not be 
arbitrary.  One line says "ld-something" and the other looks more like 
the libc library.  So I used "grep -v" to exclude the ld- lib.  This 
seems order invariant and unlikely to break anything already out there 
(unless there are systems which don't have grep -v ??)

Still not sure if my system should be showing this extra lib or it's a 
sign of some subtle breakage elsewhere, but the patch seems sane anyway
