Note that glibc doesn't include man pages, those are in the man-pages
package, so talking here about the man page wording isn't interesting.
And $LIB is certainly expanded even in LD_PRELOAD, just try
strace -E LD_PRELOAD='/$LIB/libfoo.so' /bin/echo
and you'll see it attempts to open /lib64/libfoo.so (or /lib/libfoo.so).
Also note that $LIB doesn't expand only to lib or lib64, but to whatever
multilib lib directory the current architecture uses (e.g. mips uses more
than two, H.J.'s -mx32 uses libx32 I think, etc.).
