  Sure I can and the output is :

  >>>  -- readelf 

      [Requesting program interpreter: /tools/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2]


  >>>  -- End readelf 


  It looks correct to me. In fact I did not know that grep
  could be responsible of this trouble. In the various thinkgs
  I read ld was most of the time the problem. But people were
  compiling on environment without gnu ld (solaris or things
  like that). In my situation I am in a complete gnu linux.
