Neither does mine at home; however, "/etc/rc" does:
# Make shared lib searching a little faster. Leave /usr/lib first if you
# add your own entries or you may come to grief.
if [ -x /sbin/ldconfig ]; then
if [ X"`/usr/bin/objformat`" = X"elf" ]; then
_LDC=/usr/lib
for i in $ldconfig_paths; do
if test -d $i; then
_LDC="${_LDC} $i"
fi
done
echo 'setting ELF ldconfig path:' ${_LDC}
ldconfig -elf ${_LDC}
fi
# Legacy aout support for i386 only
if [ X"`sysctl -n hw.machine`" = X"i386" ]; then
# Default the a.out ldconfig path.
: ${ldconfig_paths_aout=${ldconfig_paths}}
_LDC=/usr/lib/aout
for i in $ldconfig_paths_aout; do
if test -d $i; then
_LDC="${_LDC} $i"
fi
done
echo 'setting a.out ldconfig path:' ${_LDC}
ldconfig -aout ${_LDC}
fi

"$ldconfig_paths" is set from "/etc/defaults/rc.conf"; mine has:
ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib"
# shared library search paths
ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout"
# a.out shared library search paths
and "ldconfig", when handed a directory rather than a file as an
argument, adds that directory to the list of directories to search
(rather than reading the file in question), so that'll add the
directories in question to the list of directories to search.
As you're also running 3.2, you probably want to check what
"ldconfig_paths" is set to in "/etc/defaults/rc.conf", and make sure it
includes "/usr/X11R6/lib" and "/usr/local/lib" at a minimum, so that the
shared library paths get set correctly after a reboot; if that works,
you can probably get rid of "/etc/ld-elf.so.conf".
(I don't remember what I did to configure the shared library paths when
I set up the FreeBSD partition on this machine, so I don't know how it
got set.)
