7 I don't think "ldd" alone is the way to go, because it doesn't make
8 distinction beetween direct and indirect links, and thus real and
9 deep deps.
10 To give you the idea, there's a patch in this thread for Spider's
11 "depreverse" script, which shows how to filter "ldd" output to keep
12 only NEEDED libs (using "objdump" here, although it would be doable
13 with "scanelf" too nowdays):
