putting it in /usr/lib64 vs /lib64 makes no sense, but anyways ...

glibc doesnt care where the ldso lives, it doesnt invoke it directly.  every 
ELF out there has the path to the ldso hardcoded.  you can run `readelf -l` on 
an ELF to see the path that is hardcoded.  to change that, you have to relink 
everything with new gcc flags (or change your gcc spec).
