I forgot to finish this paragraph. To follow up, doing this stuff in
the dynamic linker would likely improve ABI-compat functionality,
making it possible to remap symbols just for binaries/libraries that
were detected as being glibc-linked.
I'm actually not sure if this will still be relevant by the time we
get around to doing it, but it's nice to have the option open.
