Hmmm, problem: this adds checking for the new FLAG_AARCH64_LIB64 at
runtime in ld.so, but nobody has (yet!) committed the code that will
add that flag from ldconfig (in patch #3 in my set). That's partly my
fault for not stating a direct dependency, I guess, but we'll need to
fix that ASAP. Would you prefer to revert *this* patch or take that
one too?

Related to Joseph's comment about #1 in the set (tagging binaries
based on interpreter names): splitting up ARM and AArch64 patches. I
can easily split #1 that way if preferred, but to my mind it makes no
sense to split #3 as it's a lump of common code that will run on both
ARM and AArch64. What do people think about that, please?

Cheers,
