Do I understand correctly that you want first a patch that makes it look
just like Debian's ld.so.8, and after that patches that make it more
palatable? That doesn't seem quite right to me --- for example, it would
mean first reverting the changes to upstream ld.so.8 and then reapplying
them again.
