The short answer is that sometimes ldd can lie when you have been
cross compiling things.  You can use 'readelf -a' to check that
both the INTERP and the NEEDED fields look ok.  If you build
libao within a uClibc only development environment, it will also
prevent ldd from lying and will make sure it is not configured
improperly....
