The glibc bugs workaround may crash if the ld.so malloc is uninstrumented and type information for link maps is available.

I suspect that these workarounds currently have no effect. I eventually had to take a different approach to the bug they were targeting, which was less of a bug than I first thought (#81). If so, I'd rather simply drop the workarounds than pushing additional assumptions into them (e.g. that the ld.so statically allocates certain link map structures, etc).
