Hi,

I did the following experiment:
...
$ gcc ~/hello.c -g
$ ldd ./a.out
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe353ca000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f7bebbdb000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f7bebf96000)
$ /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --list ./a.out
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd02126000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f88ba87f000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f88bac3a000)
$ /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 --list ./a.out
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe875fb000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6588a61000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
(0x00007f6588e1c000)
...

So, ISTM that you can override the dynamic linker used by adding it on
the command line before the command you're trying to run.

No idea.  It may be possible.  OTOH, it may be a better idea to look
into concepts like containers, if your actual concern is to be able to
package an executable with all its dependencies.

[ FWIW, note btw that both your questions are more related to using
linux than to gdb itself.  So perhaps you'll able to find more or more
elaborate answers to your questions in the generic information available
for linux. ]

Thanks,
