Dear Maintainer,
The manpage for pldd(1) says
BUGS
Since glibc 2.19, pldd is broken: it just hangs when executed.
It is unclear if it will ever be fixed.
However, in glibc 2.28-10, this bug was fixed. The manpage should be
updated according to the patch below (of course you could put "None." or
"Many." or something like that in the BUGS section, as is the tradition
when you can't think of any bugs :-)):
