Well, that is a good question, since the kernel boot starts very early
in the process. I suppose it is possible that some hardware drivers for
kernel modules MIGHT need a path to external shared libraries.
All I know for sure is that the capability to have an external ldconfig
path exists for the kernel (ie, it is built in). I do not ever remember
this being actually populated. But the capability has existed for a long
time.
