The flag FLAG_AARCH64_LIB64 is being used to identify a shared library
that conforms to the AArch64 ELF Spec:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0056a/IHI0056A_aaelf64.pdf
and the AArch64 procedure call standard
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0055a/IHI0055A_aapcs64.pdf

The ldconfig -p output should use terminology consistent with the
existing documentation.
