2.35-r0 missing lib64 symlink

[nvx]

2.34-r0 release:

# apk info -L glibc | grep lib64
lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
usr/glibc-compat/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Meanwhile the 2.35-r0 release:

# apk info -L glibc | grep lib64
usr/glibc-compat/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

This causes some applications to fail as they're linked against /lib64 according to ldd.

As an aside I also noticed libSegFault.so is missing in the new version, but I'm not sure if that's a problem or not.

This is also the reason behind build failures involving glibc applications on alpine base images, e.g like in https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/issues/176

Working and broken container examples below:

sure,after installed 2.35-r0,something doesn't work ,programs based on glibc won't work. it's become correct when i add symlink /lib64 -> /lib

btw this is the commit that changed the behavior https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/commit/ddfe092f3d91c19f6cf8cb9f2938e088db4bfa8f. it looks like the apk packager complained about it so it was removed.

Funnily enough, the code in apkbuild understood exactly what this package is doing but considers it an error anyway (https://github.com/alpinelinux/abuild/blob/master/abuild.in#L766):

	# Alpine Linux as a musl libc distro does not use /lib64 or /usr/lib64 under
	# any circumstance, packages installing to it are 100% sure a packaging error
	# except when we are doing GNU Libc compatibility which should be rare enough
	# to warrant a lib64 check

The same as #176 and #181.

My crude workaround to do in a Dockerfile after installing glibc-2.35-r0.apk:

mkdir -p /lib64
ln -sf /usr/glibc-compat/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
