The subsequent blog entries on linker basics can simply be reached by increasing the number in the link (i.e., /39, /40, and so on).

I find that one of the subjects with the rarest of documentation is linkers. I often run into linking problems and all I have is the gnu linker manual. Partly the problem is that linker people are unaware that the new generation of software engineers have no knowledge of linkers. I hope he goes one step further and makes a book out of it.

  We have a book by John Levine, but it's too outdated. http://www.iecc.com/linker/ http://www.iecc.com/linker/ Anyone interested in an up-to-date version of such a book?
