ok, more info.  I found (by stracing /sbin/ldconfig) that it was failing as a result of the following 3 libraries in /usr/lib64 not
being linked correctly:

libboost_thread-mt.so
libopcodes.so
libbfd.so

Once I rm'd those files and linked them (as shown below) ldconfig ran to completion just fine.

ln -sf  /lib64/libboost_thread-mt.so.1.50.0 /lib64/libboost_thread-mt.so
ln -sf libopcodes-2.23.51.0.3-1.fc19.so libopcodes.so
ln -sf libbfd-2.23.51.0.3-1.fc19.so libbfd.so

Now a yum update from 3-4 days ago updated boost-devel and binutils-devel which is where those libraries come from.  Somebody needs
to take a look at the boost-devel-1.50.0-4.fc19.x86_64 and the binutils-devel-2.23.51.0.3-2.fc19.x86_64 rpm's and make sure that the
linking is correct.

Thanks again.
