When you have more than one libc.so.6, ld-linux.so.2 has to pick one.
But how does ld-linux.so.2 know which one it should pick? Right now, we
assume it won't happen since libc.so.6 is the system software. If the
system vendor does put another libc.so.6 on the system, whatever
ld-linux.so.2 picks is the right one since it is up to the system 
vendor to make sure that.
