It appears that there still is a reference to /lib/ld.so in the FHS 2.1
specification. From section 3.6:

"This includes /lib/libc.so.*, /lib/libm.so.*, the shared dynamic linker
/lib/ld.so, and other shared libraries required by binaries in /bin and
/sbin."

... so perhaps this should be added to the list of issues that need to
be addressed with respect to the specification. Also something about
adding a reference to /lib/ld-linux.so* in the Linux annex.
