           Summary: busybox "sh" is inadequate to run "ldd"
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: martinwguy at yahoo.it

Symptom: ldd always outputs nothing and exits silently with status 2

Presumed cause: ldd is a /bin/sh script, and busybox "sh" is inadequate to run
ldd (at least, "/bin/bash /usr/bin/ldd /bin/ls" works)

Suggested fix:
either
- make ldd depend on bash, and then either
  - make ldd explicitly a /bin/bash script or
  - make bash the preferred alternative for "/bin/sh"
  or
- hack /usr/bin/ldd so that busybox's sh can run it
