# scanelf -n /usr/bin/aften 
 TYPE   NEEDED FILE 
ET_EXEC libm.so.6,libpthread.so.0,libc.so.6 /usr/bin/aften 

Would be a nice thing if it used libaften.so rather than link to it statically since it's exporting its symbols too.

    media-libs/aften: new revision with dynamically-linked executable.

    This new revision includes a tiny patch from Gentoo user Ihar
    Hrachyshka. The upstream build system defaults to building a target
    called "aften_static", and all we need to do is change that to "aften"
    to get the dynamically-linked version.
