I'm not 100% sure about that. Check what 'file' says about the file.
I've noticed that ldd will report 'not a dynamic executable' when it is
run on a file it doesn't recognize.

I'm not sure about 64 vs 32 bit executables, but this happens on my dev
platform:

[vonda sbin]$ uname -a
Linux vonda 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
[vonda sbin]$ file udevd
udevd: ELF 32-bit MSB MIPS-I executable, MIPS, version 1 (SYSV), for
GNU/Linux 2.4.3, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
[vonda sbin]$ ldd udevd
        not a dynamic executable
