The luajit Makefile has the following logic:
$(LDCONFIG) $(INSTALL_LIB) && \
$(SYMLINK) $(INSTALL_SONAME) $(INSTALL_SHORT1) && \
$(SYMLINK) $(INSTALL_SONAME) $(INSTALL_SHORT2) || :
So if ldconfig fails for some reason, the symbolic links to refer to
the luajit library are not created. Since ldconfig for the target
didn't make sense, LDCONFIG=true has been added a long time ago when
building the target variant of luajit.
However, since commit 9ba8d1cce4, the
host variant of luajit is also linked dynamically. While ldconfig for
the host should work, on certain machines ldconfig is not available in
the PATH, and needs to be explicitly called as
/sbin/ldconfig. However, since output/host/usr/lib is in the RPATH of
the binaries we create, there is really no need to bother running
ldconfig, so we simply pass LDCONFIG=true, like we do for the target
variant. This ensures that the symlinks are always created.
