Output of auditwheel show is confusing #675
Description
If I run auditwheel show on my wheel I get the following:
python_wheel-0.1.0-cp313-cp313-linux_x86_64.whl is consistent with the
following platform tag: "linux_x86_64".
The wheel references external versioned symbols in these
system-provided shared libraries: libc.so.6 with versions
{'GLIBC_2.4', 'GLIBC_2.2.5', 'GLIBC_2.32', 'GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR',
'GLIBC_2.3', 'GLIBC_2.34', 'GLIBC_2.38', 'GLIBC_2.11', 'GLIBC_2.14',
'GLIBC_2.28', 'GLIBC_2.33', 'GLIBC_2.3.4'}, libgcc_s.so.1 with
versions {'GCC_3.0', 'GCC_3.3.1'}, libstdc++.so.6 with versions
{'GLIBCXX_3.4', 'CXXABI_1.3.9', 'GLIBCXX_3.4.29', 'CXXABI_1.3.2',
'GLIBCXX_3.4.18', 'CXXABI_1.3', 'CXXABI_1.3.15', 'GLIBCXX_3.4.21',
'CXXABI_1.3.3', 'CXXABI_1.3.13', 'GLIBCXX_3.4.20', 'CXXABI_1.3.5'},
libz.so.1 with versions {'ZLIB_1.2.3.4'}, libm.so.6 with versions
{'GLIBC_2.29', 'GLIBC_2.2.5'}, libpng16.so.16 with versions
{'PNG16_0'}
This constrains the platform tag to "manylinux_2_39_x86_64". In order
to achieve a more compatible tag, you would need to recompile a new
wheel from source on a system with earlier versions of these
libraries, such as a recent manylinux image.
If I run auditwheel lddtree on my extension module, I get the following:

The output of auditwheel lddtree includes libfreetype.so.6. The output of auditwheel show does not. I would expect both outputs to include libfreetype.so.6. I think this is confusing. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something! But I still think this interface could be more intuitive for users.
