glibc is a special case in the save_libraries function, that is why it lists
ld-linux.so.2 in the excluded file, so dispelling glibc after the
save_libraries function runs won't leave the system foobarred. If that link
from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
to /usr/src/$SOURCE_DIRECTORY/old.libraries/ld-$OLD_VERSION.so was removed
the system would be unusable.
