[PATCH] ver_linux: ldd.patch

[Alexander Kapshuk]

Not to be critical of anyone, I believe that using 'head' along with
'awk' in this kind of context as a one-off quick solution to be run on
the command line may very well be justified.
However, in a script, 'awk' or 'sed' alone are more than capable of doing
most of the things we may be looking to achieve by using a combination of
'head', and 'awk'.

The proposed implementation relies on 'sed' to perform all the text
processing required.

Tested on:
Gentoo Linux
Debian 6.0.10
Oracle Linux Server release 7.1
Arch Linux
openSuSE 13.2
