I would have to say totally non-compliant.

IIRC, the libc parts of LSB are basically a binary compatibility 
requirement against glibc.  Since ld.so and libc.so have different 
names, LSB compliant programs would not even be able to finish the 
dynamic loading phase of startup.  Given that, there is no way to even 
test the semantics of the APIs.
