I assume adding those paths to some library path inside lazarus.

No. Those are all independant. If a package installs in a non default library,
this library has to be added.

Very system dependant, in binary format. Maybe a future installer might want
to decrypt it, (or search for the hints file somewhere in /var).

I see ld.so.conf as gcc configuration, and fpc.cfg as fpc comfiguration
for this issue. If you want both compilers, you have to edit both(at least
for now)
