I've thought about that myself. There are a number of problems with just saying "you must have /lib/ld-linux.so.2" - that's only the right path for x86-32 ELF with glibc, for instance - but I do think it would be a good idea to recommend its existence, if we can come up with an appropriate standardese translation of "the canonical pathname of the dynamic loader for whatever the machine's default ABI is". zw
