Bug#277972: glibc: Please change the remaining instances of 'lib64' to 'lib' on amd64
Kurt,
thanks for looking at my bug report (and for looking through so
many failed packages on pure64 during the last few days!).

The patch does not change the location of the dynamic loader.
The dynamic loader is currently installed in '/lib' by the 'glibc'
package and the patch will not change that. The dynamic loader is
currently also accessible via the '/lib64' symlink and the patch will
also not change that.
The patch just makes sure that glibc itself accesses the dynamic loader
at the place where it installs it, namely in '/lib' and not in '/lib64'.
This is a good thing, because it makes the access work independently of
the '/lib64' symlink without loosing anything.
This patch is harmless with respect to any LSB requirement.
The name of the dynamic loader, which is coded into every binary
can only be changed in the gcc package. This patch does not change
that.
Furthermore, there is no LSB requirement which requires the
dynamic loader to be installed in '/lib64' or to be accessible
as '/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2'.
The LSB requires that the dynamic loader is accessible through
'/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2' (note the 'lsb' instead of 'linux' in the
middle). This is being taken care of by the 'lsb' package
which installs a symlink '/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2'
which points to '/lib/ld-linux-x86-64-so.2' (actually, the current
version of the 'lsb' package still has a bug which lets the symlink
point to '/lib/ld-linux.so.2' instead).
The LSB does not specify anything else regarding the location of
the dynamic loader besides that is must be accessible through
'/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2'.

Yes, this is basically the same as the previous one and the same as the
above applies.
