That's not the problem here anyway; it's one copy of libc.so.6 versus
another copy of libc.so.6 from somewhere else. If they were actually
different SONAMEs, we wouldn't ever have loaded it.

This has definitely become a bikeshed discussion, however. I wish we
could spend less time editing one-line patches.

Does anyone dislike this version? If not, I will commit it, and
someone can expand on it in the manual if necessary (probably with a
reference to solib-absolute-prefix).

warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libc.so.6" is not at the expected
address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
