>Description:
Try "man rtld":
> ld.so is itself a shared object that is initially loaded by the startup
> module crt0. Since a.out(5) formats do not provide easy access to the
> file header from within a running process, crt0 uses the special symbol
> _DYNAMIC to determine whether a program is in fact dynamically linked or
> not. Whenever the linker ld(1) has relocated this symbol to a location
> other then 0, crt0 assumes the services of ld.so are needed (see link(5)
