Use something like

ldd /usr/bin/gthumb | grep '(' | awk '{ print $(NF-1) }' | \
grep -v -e '=' -e 'not found' | xargs -i cp -p {} destdir

Quick explanation:

1) get shared library dependencies
2) check every line for an address mapping
3) extract next to last field
4) filter out possible oddities (like not found and linux-gate.so.1
entries)
5) process list...
