Bug Description

With the re-organization for multi-arch, the ld-lsb* symlinks in /lib64 on x86_64 point to non-existent files:

root@ubuntu-latest-64:~# ls -l /lib64
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2011-08-23 18:14 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2011-08-30 18:06 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2 -> /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2011-08-30 18:06 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 -> /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

The latter 2 are in red, as broken symlinks in my terminal:

root@ubuntu-latest-64:~# file /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2
/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2: broken symbolic link to `/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2'

root@ubuntu-latest-64:~# file /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
/lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3: broken symbolic link to `/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2'

Consequently, LSB compliant apps fail to run, and the distribution test suite has a series of catastrophic
 failures, showing "no result" for many of the tests.
