This code is used in ldconfig, not in libc itself.

As soon as you support executing RV32I code under an RV64I kernel (what's 
the status on that?), you need all the pieces described at 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-01/msg00008.html> to be set up 
appropriately for that, which includes a single definition of this macro 
handling all the ABIs.

Until then, you only need those pieces set up for simultaneous support of 
the two floating-point ABI variants.  That's already done for the two 
64-bit ABIs.  But sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/riscv/ldd-rewrite.sed looks 
specific to 64-bit, and I don't see anything in this patch series that 
makes it handle 32-bit (so that ldd on a 32-bit RISC-V system can handle 
binaries for both 32-bit ABIs).
