All good.  My vote is for /lib/ld-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so.3 as it:
 * is similar to /lib/ld-x86-64.so.2
 * keeps the libraries and loader in the same directory
 * doesn't invent a new /libhf directory
 * is easier to implement in GLIBC
 * is architecture and ABI unique
 * requires less change for distros where the hard float libraries are
already in /lib

I'm happy to do the GLIBC and GCC implementation.
