i don't have a strong opinion on this, but i know we
have internal build scripts with --enable-obsolete-rpc
so i guess we will have to update those build scripts.

a bit more background detail may be useful in the
commit message though to help those who will have to
transition.

well first look at elf/tst-ldconfig-ld_so_conf-update.out

i usually get this if etc/ld.so.cache is not installed
(e.g. cross-compiling != no in config.make) or if it
is not updated in the testroot container, but it can
fail for various reasons, you can try to run

strace -o logfile -f -s 222 -tt make test t=elf/tst-ldconfig-ld_so_conf-update

and look for a failing test child process and work
backwards to see what might have caused that failure.
