OK, then how about this interpretation of abi-check: make sure that no
data symbols depend on configurable elements like $prefix. In other
words, glibc should not export any information related to its
configuration. This invalidates _nl_default_dirname completely as a
valid exported symbol and makes Jonathan's patch a full and final
solution.
