I'd like to provide an ld.so command as part of glibc. Today, ld.so can be used to activate preloading, for example. Compared to LD_PRELOAD, the difference is that it's specific to one process, and won't be inherited by subprocesses—something is that exactly what is needed. There is also some useful diagnostic output in --help, --list-diagnostics. Having ld.so as a real command (instead of just a manual page) makes the name architecture-agnostic. This discourages from hard-coding non-portable paths such as /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 in scripts that require specific functionality offered by such an explicit loader invocation. Do you see a problem with installing /usr/bin/ld.so? It would go into glibc-common on x86-64, and the initial version won't be able to launch 32-bit programs (“wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32”).
