How to get the system library path on Unix (Linux, FreeBSD)

Question
I need a more-or-less portable programmatic way for querying the the dynamic library path list. For Linux, I can concatenate the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and the contents of /etc/ld.so.conf
(processing the include
directives as needed and possibly filtering by architecture), but that doesn't work e.g. on FreeBSD.
Ultimately, I need a Python function for doing that. It can call gcc or other external commands if needed.
