As far as I can see this seems to be part of binutils-2.25 but not in Debian.</pre><pre><a href="http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/FreeBSD/ld-elf.so.1.1.html">http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/FreeBSD/ld-elf.so.1.1.html</a> gives some explanation about this:</pre><pre><pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12px;">The <b>ld-elf.so.1</b> utility itself is loaded by the kernel together with any
dynamically-linked program that is to be executed. The kernel transfers
control to the dynamic linker. After the dynamic linker has finished
loading, relocating, and initializing the program and its required shared
objects, it transfers control to the entry point of the program.</pre>

Yes, this is a good start point, and maybe with newer version it is easier, maybe not.</pre><div><span><pre><pre>-- <br></pre>Cheers,
