Yip, as is Ubuntu Precise, Debian unstable, and a skew of Gentoo. None have been released yet. Here's my understanding:
Fedora 17: * ARM is a secondary architecture * Alpha 1 release is out * Has both a ARMv5 soft float and ARMv7 hard float build
Ubuntu Precise: * ARM is a primary architecture * Beta 2 is out * ARMv7 hard float by default with ARMv7 softfp being community supported
Debian: * ARM is a primary architecture * Has a ARMv4T soft float and in-development ARMv7 hard float
openSUSE: * Kicked off at a hackfest in September 2011 * Have a ARMv5T soft float and ARMv7 hard float build
Gentoo: * I'm unsure (help?) * The Gentoo manual suggests ARMv7 softfp is the default
I did two ports of Mandriva to armv7. One of my choice to use softfp, and another hardfp port to be compatible with other distros. But other than a previous armv5 port, there is not much else of Mandriva arm, so, it would be "good to have" to be able to run binaries for either without resorting to a chroot, and only testing purposes.
Bumping major or calling it ld-linux-foo.so.3 is out of question?
I suspect /lib/ld-linux-$foo.so.3 would be fine. There's two questions here though: can the hard float loader have a different path and, if so, what should it be? We're still working on the first part.
