Use the ldd command.
ldd $BINARY
Libraries that the specified file links to will be printed to the screen.
Libraries in /usr/lib are 32bit.

I would like to identify 32-bit-only applications and tools. Over the past
couple of decades I've installed and used non-distributional (and
non-SlackBuilds.org) applications and tools and I've no idea which ones
would require the compatibility libraries if I want to install them on the
new machine.
Is there a linux utility suitable for this job? How do I identify which
files in /bin, /usr/bin/, /usr/local/bin/, etc. are only 32-bit ones?
TIA,
Rich
