Inspecting library calls has been automated in `ltrace`. It works like ptrace, but tracks all dynamic symbol calls instead of all syscalls. Making your own LD_PRELOAD takes more time. Though it is more flexible. LD_PRELOAD can also be used to turn an executable binary into a library. You have to intercept __libc_start_main(), provide your own custom main(), then call whatever functions from the binary your heart desires. You may need to use raw function addresses taken from some IDA or other Ghidra, as the binary is not required to export symbols.
