// ldd returns all the library dependencies
// of a list of file names.
// The way this is done on GNU-based systems
// is interesting. For each ELF, one finds the
// .interp section. If there is no interpreter
// there's not much to do. If there is an interpreter,
// we run it with the --list option and the file as an argument.
// We need to parse the output.
// For all lines with =>  as the 2nd field, we take the
// 3rd field as a dependency. The field may be a symlink.
// Rather than stat the link and do other such fooling around,
// we can do a readlink on it; if it fails, we just need to add
// that file name; if it succeeds, we need to add that file name
// and repeat with the next link in the chain. We can let the
// kernel do the work of figuring what to do if and when we hit EMLINK.
