Best piece on linkers is in my opinion Ian Lance Taylor's (author of the gold linker) write up[1]. It obviously has been written in a hurry and could need some polish but the content is gold. LWN published an overview with links to the different parts, to make it a little more accessible[2]. I always hoped Ian would turn it into the book he mentioned in the post.
