from "man ldconfig" :
ldconfig  creates  the  necessary  links  and cache (for use by the
run-time linker, ld.so) to the most recent shared libraries  found
in  the  directories  specified  on  the  command  line,  in  the
file /etc/ld.so.conf,  and  in  the trusted directories (/usr/lib and
/lib).

It appears to be an include-only list.  No option to exclude.

I'd take a much closer look at those "files".  Are they symlinks to
something that has gone away.  Why does ldconfig not like them?  Its
not as if that are getting any use if they aren't included in
/etc.ld.so.cache
