Title:
  /etc/ld.so.nohwcap missing

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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

  Example:
  strace ls 2>&1 | grep /etc/ld.so.nohwcap
  strace df 2>&1 | grep /etc/ld.so.nohwcap
  strace 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.

  This was confirmed on Ubuntu 10.04
