How do I build a cross-ldd?

It could be tricky.  Bear in mind that ldd normally takes the names of
the required shared libraries and actually finds the library files (on
the target system) that match.  I think it also tracks down
dependencies recursively, for example if the executable requires
libABC then it also looks for any libraries that libABC says it needs.
I don't know how ldd is normally implemented, but if it expects to use
the loader itself to do this then that's even more trouble due to the
loader being cross-compiled to target code.

If you just want a simple list of library names that the executable
needs, you could try "readelf -d" instead.
