I do think it is reasonable. The idea behind hwcap or osversion is to
provide two versions of the same libraries and select the right one at
runtime depending on the hardware or kernel capabilities.
ldconfig therefore parse all directories from /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* and
default libraries. It then use by order of priority:
- matching hwcap libraries first
- matching osversion libraries
- libraries from /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*
- libraries from internal path
Not following this kind of order basically makes the osversion features
useless.
