I'd very much like to have this reopened and fixed.

Just got bitten badly by this.  Adobe's Flash plugin failes for me on a x86-64
system.

I'd installed nspluginwrapper and flash-plugin as normal, however I could not
get the plugin to actually work in Firefox.  It just consumed 100% for 10-15
seconds after which npviwer.bin was terminated.  Attaching GDB eventually
revealed that it was spending almost all its time in fontconfig.  It seem
nspluginwrapper has some timeout after which t stops the wrapped plugin if it
isn't considered to be 'alive'/respond.  Without an up to date fontconfig cache
the time spend in startup, building the cache info, is longer than this
timeout.

I guess this could happen for anyone depending on CPU/disk speed or how many
fonts are installed.

As fc-cache only rebuilds the le64 and not le32d4 cache files they right ones
are never present and suggestions found googling does not work.
