This was suggested about a year ago in the Fosdem easy hacks presentation:
https://archive.fosdem.org/2015/schedule/event/valgrind_easy_hack/attachments/slides/731/export/events/attachments/valgrind_easy_hack/slides/731/valgrind_easy_hacks.html#slide16

The suppression and redirection isn't needed for x86. When testing a newer glibc or calling the ld.so through an alternative path neither the suppression (doesn't match path/name) nor the redirection (triggers too late) works. Since there is already an hardwire override for strlen in amd64 ld.so it makes sense to also hardware index (it is always called when ld.so loads the preload images)

Reproducible: Always
