Well, the core dump problem has been fixed in the kernel. Now, I think
that if there is an issue, it is in ldd. It is still not clear whether
/libx32 is free for any use if x32 related packages are not installed.
About /lib<qual>, FHS 2.3 says "[...] on systems which support more
than one binary format requiring separate libraries" but I don't think
that one can say that Debian/amd64 supports the x32 binary format. And
about the requirements, "If one or more of these directories exist"
is rather unclear: does "these directories" mean any directory name
matching /lib* or any directory associated with a supported binary
format?

If /libx32 is free for any use, then there may be a security issue
because /libx32/ld-linux-x32.so.2 gets executed by ldd.
