If "GNU ls" depends on a glibc,
that can only be found through LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
then we're already there, right?!

Well I saw this in the debug buffers
(actually in the context of tilde expansion):

    bash -norc -noprofile

But I have no clue, whether tramp calls the resp. and actual shell
(for executing the "post-startup commands")
with similar command line options.
Because then shell init files would not be executed anyway.

So I can't really confirm that your assumptions holds.
