By adding a -zignore to the LD_OPTIONS, I've manage to reduce the
direct dependencies of the wireshark executable to:
[0] NEEDED 0xfd18 libwiretap.so.0
[1] NEEDED 0xfd28 libwireshark.so.0
[2] NEEDED 0xfd3a libnetsnmp.so.5
[3] NEEDED 0xfc95 libsocket.so.1
[4] NEEDED 0xfd4a libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
[5] NEEDED 0xfd5e libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
[6] NEEDED 0xfd72 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
[7] NEEDED 0xfcad libm.so.2
[8] NEEDED 0xfd89 libpango-1.0.so.0
[9] NEEDED 0xfd9b libgobject-2.0.so.0
[10] NEEDED 0xfcc0 libpthread.so.1
[11] NEEDED 0xfcd9 libthread.so.1
[12] NEEDED 0xfdaf libglib-2.0.so.0
[13] NEEDED 0xfce8 libnsl.so.1
[14] NEEDED 0xfcf4 libc.so.1
libwireshark.so still has the following dependencies:
[0] NEEDED 0xba2c5 libgmodule-2.0.so.0
[1] NEEDED 0xba2d9 libglib-2.0.so.0
[2] NEEDED 0xba2ea libgnutls.so.12
[3] NEEDED 0xba2fa libgcrypt.so.11
[4] NEEDED 0xba30a libgpg-error.so.0
[5] NEEDED 0xba31c libnetsnmp.so.5
[6] NEEDED 0xba241 libsocket.so.1
[7] NEEDED 0xba259 libm.so.2
[8] NEEDED 0xba26c libnsl.so.1
[9] NEEDED 0xba281 libz.so.1
[10] NEEDED 0xba28b libc.so.1
[11] NEEDED 0xba2af libgcc_s.so.1
