i don't think that makes much sense.  the old ldso name is the official 
EABI/softfp name.  that it was used by some people for EABI/hardfp is 
unfortunate, but the few that do want to support compatibility with that 
configuration should carry it themselves.  from glibc's PoV, we don't know when 
the compat is desired.
