Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libc6

Any time a library is loaded the loader tries to access
/etc/ld.so.nohwcap before opening the library.  Shouldn't this result be
cached instead of doing it potentially hundreds of times?  Or is this a
side effect of using strace?

Steps to reproduce:  strace any executable and the log should have
plenty of entries lke this (assuming ld.so.nohwcap exists, otherwise it
returns ENOENT):

access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK)      = 0
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY)        = 3
...

** Affects: glibc (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
