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.
We've previously discussed changing the name or the version number of the linker, but there was a worry that compatibility would be broken. Apparently the Meego folks have released a hard-float system using ld-linux.so.3 and were concerned about this.
