All good. My vote is for /lib/ld-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so.3 as it:
The directory should be /libhf/ or /libhfp/ for that for consistency with all the other architectures. Note e.g. x86_64 dynamic linker is /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, not /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2.
For some value of consistency. x86_64, mips64, powerpc64 and sparc64 install to /lib64. But on ia64 it is /lib/ld-linux-ia64.so.2 and on
ia64 installs in /lib, because it isn't a multilibbed architecture.
s390x it is /lib/ld64.so.1 [1].
Ok, I forgot about this, I've tried to convince s390x folks to move it to /lib64/ld64.so.1 many years ago, but that just didn't happen, so /lib/ld64.so.1 is just a symlink to /lib64/ld64.so.1. Upstream glibc binaries use /lib64/ld64.so.1 as their dynamic linker, while all other packages use /lib/ld64.so.1 as that is hardcoded in gcc.
That is an argument that perhaps /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 could be acceptable too, as it would follow the s390x model, I wouldn't be terribly happy about that, but I could live with that.
