Bryan Drewery fcd2678171 Allow specifying an alternative LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the ldd(1) lookup.
This is needed to be able to run check-links.sh against a "sysrooted"
binary while ensuring that the ldd(1) call done on the host uses the
host libc.  It is not possible to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before calling
check-links.sh as then the "sysrooted" libc would be incorrectly used.

A LD_PRELOAD=libc.so is used to ldd(1) as it needs to use the host libc
to run.  ldd(1) is a simple wrapper around execve(2) and dlopen(2) with
env LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS set.  Due to the dlopen(2) restriction on
shared library tracing ldd(1) is still required for this lookup.

This directory tree contains tools used for the maintenance and
testing of FreeBSD.  There is no toplevel Makefile structure since
these tools are not meant to be built as part of the standard system,
though there may be individual Makefiles in some of the subdirs.

Please read the README files in the subdirs for further information.
