--- Comment #1 from Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gmail dot com> ---
You're mixing up two separate library orderings: the symbol lookup order (which
is what the man page implicitly refers to, it's breadth-first order over
DT_NEEDED links, with LD_PRELOAD modules appearing just after the main
executable and before its first DT_NEEDED library), and initialization order
(which is reverse topological order over DT_NEEDED links, assuming lack of
cycles).

To interpose malloc and the like, your library needs to appear prior to libc.so
in the former; also, your library in all likelihood depends on libc.so, so it
will appear after libc.so in the latter.

The log you've shown confirms this: preload_dump.so is loaded prior to
libtinfo.so.5, but its constructors are invoked last.

ELF gABI document explains this, please have a look:
