Oh, that's interesting. On a GNU/Linux system:
$ ldd /bin/sh
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40018000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40056000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4005a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
So it's not actually linked to /lib/ld.so, but rather to
/lib/ld-linux.so. ld.so is used for a.out binaries and ld-linux.so
for ELF binaries. I presume there is no equivalent distinction on
Hurd?
