Commit Message

  This functionality does not seem to be useful since static dlopen
is mostly used for iconv/character set conversion and NSS support.
gconv modules are loaded with full paths anyway, so that the
HWCAP subdirectory logic does not apply.

 * ldconfig now defaults to the new format for ld.so.cache. glibc has
   already supported this format for almost 20 years.
 
+* When dlopen is used in statically linked programs, alternative library
+  implementations from HWCAP subdirectories are no longer loaded.
+  Instead, the default implementation is used.

 Changes to build and runtime requirements:
 
 * powerpc64le requires GCC 7.4 or newer.  This is required for supporting
