What about the subject? Can the LD_LIBRARY${TYPE}_PATH variables
be checked for the executables of the appropriate type before
checking the LD_LIBRARY_PATH itself? The idea comes from Irix,
which has LD_LIBRARY32_PATH and LD_LIBRARY64_PATH in addition to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Than, of course, LD_PRELOADELF and LD_PRELOADAOUT...

It would appear, that this only requires modifying libexec/rtld-*/rtld.c
and the man-pages...

The immediate benefits would be in things like runsocks, but not only...
