Quote from https://capsule8.com/blog/kernel-configuration-glossary/:

> Significance: Medium
> 
> This option enables the uselib syscall a system call used in the dynamic
> linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this system call. If you
> intend to run programs built on libc5 or earlier you may need to enable this
> syscall. Current systems running glibc can safely disable this.
