--- Comment #1 from Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com> ---
More or less fixed in glibc 2.33 by a new mechanism:

    elf: Process glibc-hwcaps subdirectories in ldconfig

    Libraries from these subdirectories are added to the cache
    with a special hwcap bit DL_CACHE_HWCAP_EXTENSION, so that
    they are ignored by older dynamic loaders.

commit 600d9e0c87940da9b0fdeff492bf888df852d40c

    elf: Add glibc-hwcaps subdirectory support to ld.so cache processing

    This recognizes the DL_CACHE_HWCAP_EXTENSION flag in cache entries,
    and picks the supported cache entry with the highest priority.

    The elf/tst-glibc-hwcaps-prepend-cache test documents a non-desired
    aspect of the current cache implementation: If the cache selects a DSO
    that does not exist on disk, _dl_map_object falls back to open_path,
    which may or may not find an alternative implementation.  This is an
    existing limitation that also applies to the legacy hwcaps processing
    for ld.so.cache.
