hmm?  Here let me show you the interop problem with your suggestion:

% gcc -Wl,-dynamic-linker,/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -o hello ~/src/hello.c
% readelf -l hello | grep Reque
      [Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2]
% ./hello
bash: ./hello: No such file or directory
% ls /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
ls: cannot access /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory

So, uhm, you think it's acceptable to force everyone else to create a 
symlink because it's not acceptable to you?


Ciao,
