So that ld-elf.so.1 can be installed safely on an active system.
Plain install is braindamaged (doesn't give an atomic install) and we
(ab)use `install -C' to get an atomic install.  This has nothing to do
with schg flagging except schg flagging prevents completely atomic
installs.

The missing schg is a bug if the schg for ld.so is not a bug.
