Summary: ctypes testsuite hardcodes libc soname

Initial Comment:
on Debian alpha-linux and Debian/Ubuntu hppa-linux,
libc's soname is libc.so.6.1. A more portable way to
find about the libc soname might be to check ldd on the
python executable (or any other executable)

$ ldd /bin/ls | awk '/libc\.so/ {print $3}'
/lib/tls/libc.so.6.1

$ objdump -p /bin/ls | awk '/NEEDED *libc\.so/ {print $2}'
libc.so.6.1
