Oh cool. I stumbled across this a while back and got inspired wrote some ELFs in gas (GNU assembler). It's surprisingly straightforward and there's even a manpage elf(5), which is pretty much exactly the 32- and 64-bit specifications rolled into one. If this kind of thing sounds fun to you then you'll probably want a System V ABI reference [0] to look up all the different relocations etc. Also, /etc/include/elf.h can be helpful. The part I started having trouble with was getting dynamically linked binares working. At the time I didn't quite understand what the PLE amd GOT were, so set things down. Maybe it's time to pick this back up. As always, the OS Dev wiki [1] is also a really good source for these kinds of low level implementation details.
