[PATCH 0/2] Check ld.so/libc.so consistency during startup

[Florian Weimer]

This avoids mysterious crashes and produces a clear error message
instead.

This helps somewhat with concurrent glibc updates on a live system
because it inhibits coredumps resulting from mismatches.  This avoids
secondary crashes from a coredump catching services that in turn crashes
during launch while the update is in progress.  A full solution to the
concurrent update problem will look very different.

Tested on i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.  Built with
build-many-glibcs.py.

Thanks,
Florian
