 I don't think so. Because in the -current's rtld(1) man page, this
 part is described as below:
 
 | .It Ev LD_PRELOAD
 | A list of shared libraries, separated by colons and/or white space,
 | to be linked in before any
 | other shared libraries.
 | If the directory is not specified then
 | the directories specified by
 | .Ev LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 | will be searched first
 | followed by the set of built-in standard directories.
 | This is ignored for set-user-ID and set-group-ID programs.

 If we adjust the man page to the -current's one, LD_LIBMAP_DISABLE
 should be placed before LD_PRELOAD (and my patch is wrong).
