My Slackware 12.0 boxes certainly have one.  "man ld.so" suggests that /lib/ld-linus.so.2
does the loading for ELF files, and that some sections of the binary itself, along with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable can add to the paths searched for shared libraries.

I know that LD_LIBRARY_PATH changes can help.
