This is all normal. Unless you link statically, the program will be
linked with the dynamic loader and other .so, which will be called
at startup
Use
   ldd ./test
to see these.

Note btw that having a dynamically linked executable is critical to
have Valgrind tools such as memcheck or helgrind working properly.
