Original reasons were in this thread:
http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/pipermail/pld-devel-en/2018-October/025628.html
http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/pipermail/pld-devel-en/2018-October/025650.html

But the solution is wrong because of the above link time references.

For me it seems that better way would be to:
- revert this commit
- disable AutoReqProv for ldcondig
- add "Confilicts: glibc < (version before introducing rtld(GNU_HASH))" instead
