>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)
           ****
