Indeed. Looks like this:

     nptl: Move more stack management variables into _rtld_global

     Permissions of the cached stacks may have to be updated if an object
     is loaded that requires executable stacks, so the dynamic loader
     needs to know about these cached stacks.

     The move of in_flight_stack and stack_cache_actsize is a 
requirement for
     merging __reclaim_stacks into the fork implementation in libc.

It looks like "stack_cache_actsize" in libc moved to be 
_dl_stack_cache_actsize in ld-linux-x86-64.so.2


A+
