So, in your example, if you are testing if libA needs a rebuild due to libC, you only extract libA in your chroot, not libB. The ldd can not chain its way to libC. So ti ends up doing the same thing as readelf.

Now I understand it. Still, if you use readelf it does not matter what the environment is, you could run it on any system which is not even Arch, or is the wrong architecture or anything.
