Initial checkin for ld.so. This is a combination of effort from Manuel Novoa

III and me.  I've been working on stripping out arch dependant stuff and
replacing it with generic stuff whenever possible.

+.SH NAME
+ldd \- print shared library dependencies
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ldd
+.RB [ \-vVdr ]
+program|library ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B ldd
+prints the shared libraries required by each program or shared library
+specified on the command line.
+If a shared library name does not contain a '/',
+.B ldd
+attempts to locate the library in the standard locations.
+To run
+.B ldd
+on a shared library in the current directory, a "./" must be prepended
+to its name.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Print the version number of
+.BR ldd .
+.TP
+.B \-V
+Print the version number of the dynamic linker,
+.BR ld.so .
+.TP
+.B \-d
+Perform relocations and report any missing functions (ELF only).
+.TP
+.B \-r
+Perform relocations for both data objects and functions, and
+report any missing objects (ELF only).
+.SH BUGS
+.B ldd
+does not work very well on libc.so.5 itself.
+.PP
+.B ldd
+does not work on a.out shared libraries.
+.PP
+.B ldd
+does not work with some extremely old a.out programs which were 
+built before
+.B ldd
+support was added to the compiler releases.
+If you use
+.B ldd
+on one of these programs, the program will attempt to run with argc = 0 and
+the results will be unpredictable.
