Never try to execute the file in ldd Executing a random file is never a good idea. Treat all arguments as if they are invoked with __libc_enable_secure, and run them through the known good dynamic linker. * elf/ldd.bash.in: Always run through the dynamic linker, even if the file has its own interpreter. Remove unneeded executable check.
