How about:

"The <command>ldd</command> shell script contains Bash-specific syntax.  
Change its shebang line to force the script to be interpreted by Bash in case 
other shells (see <link href="whatever">BLFS</link>) are installed and linked 
to <filename class="symlink">/bin/sh</filename> later:"

Obviously the markup will need to be fixed up a bit there, but hopefully you 
get the idea.

Matt.
