Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [embedded specific]

The default lib search path order is:

  1) LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  2) RPATH from the binary
  3) ld.so.cache
  4) default search paths embedded in the linker

For nativesdk binaries which are being used alongside binaries on a host system, we 
need the search paths to firstly search the shipped nativesdk libs but then also
cover the host system. For example we want the host system's libGL and this may be
in a non-standard location like /usr/lib/mesa. The only place the location is know 
about is in the ld.so.cache of the host system.

Since nativesdk has a simple structure and doesn't need to use a cache itself, we 
repurpose the cache for use as a last resort in finding host system binaries. This 
means we need to switch the order of 3 and 4 above to make this work effectively.
