A quick brainstorm:

   because they used locale specific sorting for files they added to the
   ld.so.conf.d/ directory to configure their systems.


We can also enumerate twice and warn if there are any differences.

Or provide a tool like (glibc-system-check?) which reports this andcould be extended over time to also check for use of deprecatedfeatures/APIs and so on.


Thanks,
Florian
