Excellent  :-)

ELDK includes a cross-ldd, too: just use

	${CROSS_COMPILE}ldd file ...

As for adding the files to the ramdisk image, please see
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/HowToAddFiles  and
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/RootFileSystemDesignAndBuilding

And keep inmind that a ramdisk is almost always the worst thing you
can use as a rot file system - see
