commit 89baed0b93639180fd7d0ba922873b003649c7af
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Aug 25 18:46:41 2022 +0200

    Revert "Detect ld.so and libc.so version inconsistency during startup"
    
    This reverts commit 6f85dbf102ad7982409ba0fe96886caeb6389fef.
    
    Once this change hits the release branches, it will require relinking
    of all statically linked applications before static dlopen works
    again, for the majority of updates on release branches: The NEWS file
    is regularly updated with bug references, so the __libc_early_init
    suffix changes, and static dlopen cannot find the function anymore.
    
    While this ABI check is still technically correct (we do require
    rebuilding & relinking after glibc updates to keep static dlopen
    working), it is too drastic for stable release branches.
