/etc/ld.so.nohwcap is accessed on every process launch, but it does not exist.

Example:
strace sh -c ls 2>&1 | grep /etc/ld.so.nohwcap
strace sh -c df 2>&1 | grep /etc/ld.so.nohwcap
strace sh -c sleep 0 2>&1 | grep /etc/ld.so.nohwcap

Output is one or more:
access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

This file should exist (what does it do?), or the futile accesses should be removed. Doing so will improve process launch times.
