Well, I'm not from Sun, (ok, I guess I am, I used to work there),
but maybe I'll do.

LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS is what makes 'ldd' work.
LD_PROFILE calls 'profil' leaving the results in /tmp/ld.so.profile_buffer
LD_SYMBOLS_PUBLIC leaves the symbols from ld.so around for a debugger 
	to get 'hold of
LD_PRELOAD works as described, though the source says its not to be documented.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH you know about
