I guess that makes some sense on a pure /lib/ file system. Send a
patch.

(I mean, honestly, I personally wouldn't bother, and just usr /lib64/
as fedora does and no populate /lib/ with libraries. I mean, it's just
names, and the ABI is how the ABI is. But regardless, a patch using
/lib/ as final fallback we search for ld.so in sounds acceptable.)

Submit via github.
