Details

The Linux standard base spec requires /lib/ld-lsb.so.3, which is basically just a symbolic link to /lib/ld-linux.so.2 - see http://www.linuxfoundation.org/images/d/d6/2008-03-isv-lsb-4.0-futures.pdf.

It is currently just needed by Google Earth 6 but maybe it will catch on.
This task depends upon

What about 64 Bit? The specs don't say anything about ld-linux-x86_64.so.2. Should ld-lsb.so.3 always point to ld-linux.so.2?

Apparently it should always point to the 32bit loader... I believe the LSB assumes all x86_64 are multilib.

I'm will not add this to the glibc package. If someone wants to support the LSB, then they should do what other distros do and create a "lsb" package that provides this symlink and pulls the needed dependencies.

I'm not quite sure what exactly lsb-support entails besides from this symlink. I have created an aur package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44043) that sets the symlink, but I think it would be premature to say that this is enough for full LSB support.

The requirements for LSB compliance are well documented. You will need a lot of dependencies added to that package, including old libraries only available in the AUR.
