Easy:

# ls -l =zsh
-r-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  2496 Aug 15 00:05 /usr/local/bin/zsh*
# ldd =zsh
/usr/local/bin/zsh:
        libzsh-4.0.7.so => /usr/local/lib/zsh/libzsh-4.0.7.so (0x28064000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x280de000)
        libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x2811d000)
        libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x28138000)

I don't really know why they did it that way, but there you go.
