Doing so is just as incorrect as using /lib64/ld-2.27.so as the 
interpreter name.  The fact that any number of file names happen to 
resolve to the same file as the interpreter does not make them proper 
names to use for it - only one name is correct under the ABI, and it's not 
proper to create inherently distribution-specific binaries rather than 
binaries that would work on any distribution with new-enough libc.

I think your present advocacy is an effective argument *against* any 
additions to multiarch support in the GNU toolchain.
