+If you want to use a dynamically linked executable, say @code{bash},
+then first run @samp{ldd bash} to see what shared objects it needs.
+In addition to copying the actual binary, also copy the listed

+Finally, if the executable requires any other files (e.g., data, state,
+device files), copy them into place, too.
