How do I find which .so files are being referenced by GCC

When I compile, I want to know exactly which shared libraries my executable relies on. Is there a way to get gcc to tell me the full path of the libraries it referenced during the linking process?

To be more specific, I am cross compiling for embedded linux. There are several versions of libstdc++.so in my file system. I need to make sure the executable references the correct one.

You'll may want to look at the output of gcc -v ... for the load (it is really the linker, ld(1), who figures that out from the paths given as arguments, or perhaps environment variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Or run ldd(1) on the final executable.
