I missed the beginning of the discussion and I fear I’m slightly
changing topics :-), but to me we should work toward per-application
loader caches:

  https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2021/taming-the-stat-storm-with-a-loader-cache/
  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/glibc-dl-cache.patch?id=6d0571215d661d21cac2150ca45906e77a79a5fb

This is the one custom change we have in Guix.

(And IMO it should work the same on Linux and on the Hurd.)
