- gumby 6y agoThe proliferation of formats has diminished, fortunately, so there is some interesting, somewhat target-specific work (e.g. the gold linker) being done without bfd. I am always amused/happy when I see instructions to use code I wrote simply for debugging the library itself (e.g. objdump) being used in other contexts.
- vram22 6y agoCool. Asked because 1) I'm into file formats myself, and 2) am a long time C and Unix guy (among other things, for both 1 and 2). Also because I had read that O'Reilly book, Open Source: Voices from the Open Source Revolution, and specifically the chapter about Cygnus.
