Well, except when people are misled when investigating problems because
they assume the output is accurate. (e.g. [1])
[1] https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-September/246164.html
I guess what's maybe needed is some indication that an error occurred
and the output may be incomplete if the inferior process exited with a
non-zero status. But not sure how we can do that while keeping the
output compatible with linux ldd.
