Can be replaced by mdev or trick with tarring /dev/ can help.

On devices where you will not install new stuff it should be save to 
keep it in /etc/ as this will be written only on first start. And as 
ldconfig is one of tools intercepted by opkg it will be called just 
once.

prelink maybe? You can also kill any daemon not needed to run your 
application or move it after X11 start.
