Yes, it does.  Here's mine:

gfoot@xxxxxxxxxx ~$ ldd /usr/local/lib/liballeg-3.9.33.so
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/usr/local/lib/liballeg-3.9.33.so'
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400b5000)
        libvga.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 (0x400d1000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4011a000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40127000)
        libesd.so.0 => /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 (0x401cb000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x401d2000)
        libaudiofile.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0 (0x402c0000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)

I'm assuming that your Allegro programs still work, even when
you link them dynamically.  You should find that if you rename
your Allegro shared library, running ldd on those programs gives
just libc and the (missing) Allegro library.

What does "allegro-config --libs --static" tell you?  The
libraries which are linked to the shared library are exactly
those appearing after the `-lalleg' in the static libraries
output by allegro-config.
