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

no, please see
http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/trunk/ia64%20Debian%20unstable%20trunk/builds/11/step-test/0
(that's the last run of current trunk, AFAIK)

Heh, I added ldd support in ctypes/_loader.py _findLib_ld. 
Does that address this issue?  Or perhaps at least partially
address?  It looks like in the current buildbot, this part
of ctypes isn't failing.  Maybe this can be closed?
