Indeed, this is a leftover from the badly handled usr-merge transition, the file used to be in /lib before. I'll see what can be done. > Same applies for `/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2`referenced in the linker script. No, the linker script is part of the ELF ABI, so this must not be changed. > In addition to the libc.so file, libm.so linker script is also affected. Indeed.
