either staticly linked or keeping any libraries they depend on in /lib
instead of /usr/lib. this is what debian does:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eb]$ file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1,
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eb]$ ldd /bin/ls
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0feea000)
/lib/ld.so.1 => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x30000000)
