As far as the kernel is concerned, these shared libraries are executable, can be parsed and have an entry point that isn't 0. Why shouldn't it try and execute them? I don't see anything particularly useful that would indicate that ld-linux and libc can be run, but that libkeyutils, for example, can't. Unlike libkeyutils, libc has a PHDR program header (as does, say, /bin/ls), but ld-linux _doesn't_, so you can't use that as a key.
