,---- ld.so(8) ---- | LD_PRELOAD | A whitespace-separated list of additional, user-specified, ELF | shared libraries to be loaded before all others. This can be used | to selectively override functions in other shared libraries. For | setuid/setgid ELF binaries, only libraries in the standard search | directories that are also setgid will be loaded. `---- Although we do not want to override only single functions, this might be a better choice here. I don't know how much this will actually change, however, since in the directories that would be given to LD_LIBRARY_PATH there would be only one shared library - the one alternatively specified in LD_PRELOAD.
