It seems that it points to $out/ld.so.cache, not $out/etc/ld.so.cache. BTW, 
what is the general policy for diff format? I prefer

 unchanged
-removed
+inserted
 unchanged

over

 unchanged
!removed
 unchanged
=====
 unchanged
!removed
 unchanged

because removed and inserted lines are much closer to each other. What do 
you prefer?
