Querying ld to find out where it is a shared library

I'd want to query the GNU linker (ld) in order to find out the path of a .so file. I know that there are several directories where such a files are stored, but I would know if it is possible to do that directly querying the linker.

What is it, if any, the right way to do that?

Not direct query, but you could use something like

ld -t -lm -lc -lfoo 2> /dev/null | tail -n+2 | sed 's!^[^/]*\(/[^)]*\).*$!\1!g'

It will list all libraries passed to ld.
