Have you read the patch? All it does is add more SEARCH_DIR("...");
entries to the /usr/lib/ldscripts/ and correct the entries that are
wrong now. The risk is virtually zero. Far far away from "expected to
break stuff".

It has been pushed since sarge. Unfortunately pushing doesn't mean
anything will give. The glibc and gcc teams where nice enough to add
the patches for multiarch support but binutils has just kept stubborn.

You are right. The patch has been around for years and requests for any
response to the patch have just been ignored.
