It can't hurt if you don't use it. It needs to be filtered for setuid
programs of course, but other than that I don't see a problem.

But it seems like an ugly kludge. Why have a feature that costs code space
and a getenv call in every ld.so startup, but has only one use that is very
rare?
If you are going to do something that is only for this specific purpose in
building libc, then you should just add a `--ignore-rpath' option for when
ld.so is invoked directly. That minimizes the potential impact on anything.
