My vote is for /lib/ld-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so.3 as it:

• is similar to /lib/ld-x86-64.so.2

• is easier to implement in GLIBC
• is architecture and ABI unique
• requires less change for distros where the hard float libraries are

already in /lib

I'm happy to do the GLIBC and GCC implementation.

I'm happy with your proposal, as I am with any of the others that result in a /lib path (our guys will accept that) that contains enough uniqueness that there won't be a path clash later. Sure, Jakub will probably argue that ".so.3" already implies "gnueabi" so we can drop that, and we can screw around with this some more, but you are on the right track IMO.
