For most binaries, doing 'ldd /path/to/binary' will show you a list of
libraries that the loader will link the binary against before it runs.
There is a way for a binary to try and load a library while it is
running. You may be able to find these by running 'strings' against the
binary and looking for the library file names in the output.
