ldconfig has nothing to do with build-time library dependencies. Unless
you specify special options to make it create some symlinks, which usually is
done by either Makefiles or the RPM spec file already (and not ldconfig).
Primary use of ldconfig is for the run-time linker's cache.

Make sure the libs included in the RPM package are executable.
Watch the rpmbuild output carefully to see what it does during the
late "Provides/Requires" dependency generation steps.
