this will be fixed in the future, it doesn't hurt though

Why shouldn't we reference it? The directory is empty by default, so ld.so.cache won't contain references to files in there. The problem you'll get with removing is that applications that are not provided by archlinux that get installed in /usr/X11R6 will refuse to work without it.

We have PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" (no X11R6) in /etc/profile now, so I think we can remove /usr/X11R6/lib from ld.so.conf now.
Applications that get installed /usr/X11R6 will refuse to work with default filesystem package anyway because of PATH.
