When building the testroot, the script runs the newly built ld.so on a
couple of binaries in order to copy over any additional libararies
needed. However, if the dependencies are found in the system cache, it
will be copied over using that path.

This is problematic if the system ld.so and the one built don't have the
exact same search configuration. We encountered this in Ubuntu, where we
build a variant of libc with -fno-omit-frame-pointer for accurate
performance profiling.

This variant is built using a non-standard slibdir to be able to be
co-installed with the default library (e.g. slibdir = /lib/libc6-prof).
Since we have /lib pointing to /usr/lib, any additional dependency
should still be reachable via /usr. However, resolving via the cache
might result in the additional DSOs being copied into $testroot/lib, out
of the search path in the container.

The problem has been triggered by 1d5024f4f052c12e404d42d3b5bfe9c3e9fd27c4
("support: Build with exceptions and asynchronous unwind tables [BZ #30587]")
which introduced a dependency on libgcc_s.so.1 under some circumstances.

It makes sense to inhibit cache on testroot creation, although default
system dirs will always be used.

LGTM, thanks.

Sorry, my experience of ML-based contributions is pretty limited. Am I
expected to send a V2 to fix the typo in the commit log?

If I need to send a V2, should it include the Reviewed-by tag?

No need, I will commit in your behalf with the commit message fixed.
