[Bug 884817] Re: tell apart armel and armhf libraries in the dynamic linker

[Matthias Klose]

** Description changed:

  The armhf dynamic linker should only lookup places where armhf shared
  libraries are found, not where armel shared libraries are found.
  
  armel ld.so looks into /usr/lib  and /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi
  armhf ld.so looks into /usr/lib  and /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
  
  which badly breaks when the armhf libc6 is installed on armel and vice
- versa.
+ versa (same issue with any library installed in /usr/lib).
+ 
+ With the current behaviour an armel library is found for an armhf
+ binary, while it should skip this library and search for the armhf
+ library.
