Right, so its still just about 9 MB:

    guile=$(readlink -f $(which guile))
    sizes=$({ echo $guile; ldd $guile|grep /|sed 's+^[^/]*\(/[^ ]*\).*+\1+'; }|xargs -n 1 readlink -f|xargs du -ab|cut -f 1)
    sumsize=0
    for size in $sizes; do
        sumsize=$((sumsize+size));
    done
    echo $sumsize
Gives 9041632 here.

Thanks for the snippet. Now I have a recipe how to calculate the size of a binary file, plus the shared objects, i.e. the so-file(s), it requires directly.

Now I just need to extend your snippet so that it works recursively. A shared object can require other shared objects.
