Is this really the case? I once tried hacking up ld.so to do the lookup backwards (it is actually possible without doing a strlen for every comparison) and I could see no difference in performance, based on loading OpenOffice with both linkers and enabling the built-in linker profiling. Of course, I may have messed up something else in the process...
