I’d like to ask the RT for it, if you agree with including it
if they give their okay, yes. Multi-Arch support is a Release
Goal, and chroot compatibility is not unimportant either.
That is, if you have a look over the patch and don’t have any
thing against my solution for it.

OK. (If you need a sponsor for that – I can do that today.)

This is more or less what I did – except this solution will
probably(!) only work with GNU ld.so (I’d have to try BSD’s,
but Debian GNU/kFreeBSD uses GNU’s so no trouble there, and
I know it ignores Darwin).
But I could extend the script to add back support for the
other ld.so types in the way upstream currently uses.

Sure. I would, of course, be willing to help and change the
script accordingly. (Being author of a shell has got to be
worth something, after all…)
