      Use ldd on the binary.  That should tell you what the linker wants
to use.  For example:

[ctrown at backup ctrown]$ ldd /bin/bash
         libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x007fd000)
         libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x004bc000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00d2b000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0042e000)
