>Description:
While checking dynamic libraries dependencies in one of my systems, i found
the ldd(1) crashed with 2 of them: libelf.so and libnvpair.so.

njoly@lanfeust [~]> ldd /usr/lib/libelf.so
/usr/lib/libelf.so:
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  ldd /usr/lib/libelf.so

A further look, show that those 2 libraries have themselves as dependencies:

njoly@lanfeust [~]> objdump x /usr/lib/libelf.so
/usr/lib/libelf.so:     file format elf64-x86-64
/usr/lib/libelf.so
architecture: i386:x86-64, flags 0x00000150:
HAS_SYMS, DYNAMIC, D_PAGED
start address 0x0000000000002f60
[...]
Dynamic Section:
  NEEDED               libelf.so.0
  NEEDED               libc.so.12
  SONAME               libelf.so.0
  INIT                 0x0000000000002b20
[...]

In that case, ldd will enter a recursive loop trying to display libelf.so
needed libs, starting with itself ...

njoly@lanfeust [~]> gdb ldd ldd.core 
GNU gdb 6.5
[...]
Core was generated by `ldd'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

 Fixes PR/48211.

 As a side effect the libraries are printed in, imo, a better order.
