Thanks for your follow up, you're right. Your patch has sysdeps/alpha/dl-procinfo.h. > occurs when you have for example an ev56 library in lib/ev56, and a ev67 > CPU. Then the loader looks in lib/ev67 and then falls back to lib.

Yes, and if ev67 is instruction upper compatible with ev56 (I guess so), I think it's acceptable to add a symlink "ln -sf lib/ev67/libfoo.so lib/ev56/libfoo.so".
