I've noticed that ldd is deeply confused, but then ldd doesnt' cross-compile 
properly.  (I can either get it to run on x86 and read x86 binaries, or run 
on arm and read arm binaries.  Running on x86 and reading arm binaries is 
not, as of yet, an option I've managed to configure it for.  And I have yet 
to take a chainsaw to the makefile...)

As for actually running, everything I've tried so far seems fairly happy...
