Do you have a suggestion? For the path elements that come from the hwcap
list, you can exercise some control with LD_HWCAP_MASK. "i686" comes from
dl_platform, i.e. AT_PLATFORM. An override for that in glibc would have
the same issue, though you could override it in the kernel somehow specific
to 32-bit processes. We could add something like LD_EXCLUDE_PLATFORM to
give platform/hwcap strings that should not be put into the search list
when they normally would (then you could use that for "tls" as well).
