[root at toni bin]# ppc_4xx-ldd bash
	libtermcap.so.2 => libtermcap.so.2 (0x0)
	libdl.so.2 => libdl.so.2 (0x0)
	libc.so.6 => libc.so.6 (0x0)
	/lib/ld.so.1 => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x0)

All libs are present in /lib, but why does the last line has /lib explicit here, and the others not?
My system bash has explicit /lib in all of them.
