ldd(1) is usually a good enough guess.

It can be inaccurate when a library is linked in because of a dependency
from another library. This can be particularly irritating for things
like libsasl and libldap (which is linked to libsasl, so if your
application is compiled with ldap support, it gets linked to libsasl,
but does not have actual sasl support built in).
