So LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if set, should only be one path, because the code assumes that.

This surprised me because more generally (for the linking loader) LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be a colon separated list of paths.
Why I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the first place? No good reason, just that some other build in my container required it, since Ubuntu installs user built libraries to non-standard place?

I suppose you could change the document to say "only set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to one path, if the library for which you are generating documents is not in a standard installed place."
