+<userinput>touch /etc/ld.so.conf</userinput> One of the final steps of
+the Glibc installation is running ldconfig to update the dynamic loader
+cache. If this file isn't present Glibc will abort with an error that it
+can't read the file. So we create an empty file for it (empty file will
+have Glibc default to using /lib and /usr/lib which is fine right now).
