What does this mean?

I assume that he is talking about ELF inherited dependencies. With inherited dependencies, libraries which were not specified at link time may appear in the output of `ldd' because one of the linked libraries does require other non-listed libraries. Recent versions of Solaris do inherit shared library dependencies. Probably Scott should have mentioned Linux instead since I recall a time (possibly as recent as Red Hat 5.0) when it did not inherit shared library dependencies.
