Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2012-04-20 18:01:54 UTC 
For cross-instrumentation cases, we sometimes cannot run ldd to satisfy stap --ldd / .library("*") requests.  In other cases (android's /system/bin/linker), that may not have the LD_TRACE_* feature at all.

We probably need to bring back scox's earlier explicit DT_NEEDED traverser logic, if that can still be found.
