...
It's more logical to use lstat() in the example code,
since one can then experiment with sybolic links, and
also the S_IFLNK case can also occur.

ld.so.8: Simplify language around conferring capabilities
...
The statement "conferring permitted or effective capabilities"
to the process is somewhat redundant. Binaries with capabilities
confer capabilities only to those process capability sets, so it's
simpler to just say"confers capabilities to the process".
