I had this problem too. In my case, for some reason i had not installed the X11
libraries correctly. Curiously, the problem only appeared with some X programs.
Check that you have Xv1.1 and that the appropriate libraries are in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/.../2.2.2/{shared,static} as the install docs say.

This is misinformation.
The startup code in crt0.o prints out the names of the shared libraries required
when called with argc set to 0. This is what ldd does in order to find out what
shared libraries are required by a program. Hence the problem has nothing to do
with ldd, it just manifests itself in the same way.

Reinstall the X libs !
