What is the output of:

# readelf -a /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 | grep -E "(^[^ 0-9]|.*_rtld_get_stack_prot)"

in your armv7 context(s)? Does it include for likes of:

QUOTE
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 911 entries:
 903: 000000000001b9ac    16 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 _rtld_get_stack_prot
END QUOTE

vs. not?

Note that the "debug version of libc" being involved likely means that
DEBUG_FLAGS was defined. That in turn likely means that strip is not
being used. In such a case, I expect that the .symtab entry for
_rtld_get_stack_prot (and more) exists for such a context.
