LD_LIBRARY_PATH overrides ld.so.conf unless if the program being run is
run by root or if the program is setuid to root. In those cases, the
variable is ignored. This is for obvious security reasons. The ld.so.conf
setup is observed regardless of what user you are. The idea is that the
content of ld.so.conf is set by someone who is root and so is basically
declaring the entries in that file to be "trusted directories". Note that
/lib and /usr/lib are not in ld.so.conf at all since they are pre-presumed
to be trusted.

Exactly my point. See above :-)
That makes sense for system wide execution of applications but not for
development. In that case you likely want to use a local library path
named by LD..PATH and not impose it on the entire system.
