11<userinput>touch /etc/ld.so.conf</userinput> One of the final steps of
12the Glibc installation is running ldconfig to update the dynamic loader
13cache. If this file isn't present Glibc will abort with an error that it
14can't read the file. So we create an empty file for it (empty file will
15have Glibc default to using /lib and /usr/lib which is fine right now).
