I didn't think of non-base-system software, you are right. From that point of
view, you are certainly right.

As far as I understood your script, it scans the output of "readelf -a", and
prints that file name if and only if this output contains "XDR" or "xdr". Will
this work if the binary is stripped (sorry in case I just overlooked something
stupid :-)

 Simon
