Description

I get the following:

```
$ blinkenlights.com /nix/store/mij848h2x5wiqkwhg027byvmf9x3gx7y-glibc-2.33-50/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help
ERROR: SEGMENTATION FAULT 00000001f000
```

Same with:

```
$ blinkenlights.com /nix/store/mij848h2x5wiqkwhg027byvmf9x3gx7y-glibc-2.33-50/lib/ld-2.33.so --help
ERROR: SEGMENTATION FAULT 00000001f000
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two blinkenlights.com commands against the listed glibc ld.so paths and confirm the segmentation fault. Trace the failure from the executable entry point; done means both ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 and ld-2.33.so can run --help without the reported fault.
