Recent Updates and ldconfig

Since the most recent round of updates i've been having trouble with 
ldconfig, apparently it's requiring the security context to be set 
exactly right on everything and the libraries aren't configured that way 
by default.  ldconfig (or selinux, whatever actually handles this) wants 
the context set to "system_u:object_r:shlib_t" where most of the 
libraries are set to "system_u:object_r:lib_t" or 
"root_u:object_r:lib_t".  For most things this isn't that big of a deal, 
but some things (such as wine or the nvidia driver) will fail since they 
create the libraries just before trying to ldconfig them.  Any help with 
this is greatly appreciated.
