I found another idea and implemented it – I have separated 'ld' package,
to provide both the dynamic linker (/lib/ld-*) an the ldconfig tool.
This is what contains those cross-dependencies and it does not pull any
other dependency that whole glibc package could pull.

Currently pushed with 'Release: 6.1', to become 'Release: 7' if there
are no objections.
