43dc1409c1 Restricting xargs to '-n1' is much slower and isn't needed for file(1)
Also note that libc.so.6 is an older version of libc (thus why you'd
want to find files linked against it).

17fc43bc01 ldd: Remove non-functional -v option
It seems -v only worked for a.out.  Remove it, not even keeping the current
nop for compat.  Also remove more mentions of a.out format from the man
page.

e68ed79390 Tweak the support for using ldd on 32-bit objects a bit further.
Specifically, build a 32-bit /usr/bin/ldd32 on amd64 which handles 32-bit
objects.  Since it is a 32-bit binary, it can fork a child process which
can dlopen() a 32-bit shared library.  The current 32-bit support in ldd
can't do this because it does the dlopen() from a 64-bit process.  In order
to preserve an intuitive interface for users, the ldd binary automatically
execs /usr/bin/ldd32 for 32-bit objects.  The end result is that ldd on
amd64 now transparently handles 32-bit shared libraries in addition to
32-bit binaries.

fffd993df2 On 64 bit architectures, you can run 32 bit executables and the rtld can trace them, but ldd(1) doesn't know yet how to detect them:
[/] root@ed-exigent>ldd `which httpd`
    ldd: /usr/local/sbin/httpd: can't read program header
    ldd: /usr/local/sbin/httpd: not a dynamic executable

    But...

    [/] root@ed-exigent>LD_32_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS==1 `which httpd`
    libm.so.4 => /lib32//libm.so.4 (0x280c8000)
    libaprutil-1.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libaprutil-1.so.2 (0x280de000)
    libexpat.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6 (0x280f2000)
    libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x28110000)
    libapr-1.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libapr-1.so.2 (0x281fd000)
    libcrypt.so.3 => /lib32//libcrypt.so.3 (0x2821d000)
    libpthread.so.2 => not found (0x0)
    libc.so.6 => /lib32//libc.so.6 (0x28235000)
    libpthread.so.2 => /usr/lib32/libpthread.so.2 (0x2830d000)

Added support in ldd(1) for the LD_32_xxx environment variables if
the architecture of the machine is >32 bits. If we ever go to 128
bit architectures this excercise will have to be repeated but thanks
to earlier commits today it will be relative simple.

machine-dependant code is relevant to FreeBSD right now.

09e3d49d92 This is Paul K's latest set of ld changes. A commit was necessary at this
late stage due to the fact that link.h was copyright Sun Microsystems.

This version of ld sync's us up with NetBSD's ld and supports compatablily
with NetBSD's -[zZ] flags (which we had reversed).  Compiling with this
new ld will give you RRS warnings for libraries which do not contain .type
infomation - these wsarnings are harmless and will go away as soon as you
recompile your libraries (cd /usr/src; make libraries).
