Well, there is. For more than 2 years after the addition of --eh-frame-hdr
support dl_iterate_phdr in libc.a would simply always fail, you aren't
adding any kind of check that old glibc (2001-2003ish) isn't used.
Even in newer glibcs, it relies on AT_* aux vector values provided by the
kernel, if they are not provided for whatever reason, it would fail.
