Title:
  glibc: backport "Add x86_64 to x86-64 HWCAP" for 17.10

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  glibc 2.26 regressed in terms of which subdirectories ld searched in
  for shared libraries.

  The commit to fix this can be found here:

  https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;a=log;h=45ff34638f034877b6a490c217d6a0632ce263f4

  This could cause issues in rare cases of apps using x86_86
  subdirectories for multi-lib applications. In our case it breaks
  loading of Feral games without the above fix.

  See

  for reports more details.
