	I think it's a special case:
$ ldd /bin/ls
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4000f000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

	All the libc6 binaries are linked against `/lib/ld-linux.so.2'
(with full path).  I think the second line (the one without the full
path) could be omitted, but I would leave it there; maybe some package
may want to use it...
