Note that lsof shows bash loading a number of libraries not reported by ldd.
I wanted to put bash and some other executables, plus their libraries,
in a rescue directory. I was hoping ldd would tell me which libraries
to include.
This did not work for bash (but it did for the others).
Is this incomplete behavior expected? To compensate for it, I had to include
a lot of stuff to read the output of lsof and find the name of the symlink
pointing to each listed file (since the executables use the symlink names,
not the physical file names). Yuck.
Thanks,
