not really a fedora question, but i'm interested in a step-by-step
description of what happens when one compiles and runs "hello,

those steps to the essential fedora packages and where they come
into play (gcc, cpp, glibc-devel, libgcc, and so on), related to
things like crtbegin, crtend, etc. i'm thinking you get the idea.
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but I read this book a few
years ago:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pgubook/
It's now available under the GNU FDL (although I think a print
edition is still available). It covers basic programming using
assembler and picks apart classic examples like "Hello World" at the
instruction level.
that doesn't go as deep as i'd like. actually, after i thought
about it a bit longer, i realized that i'd like a document that gets
into the details of gcc debugging and optimization in the sense of
actually *explaining* it. it's one thing to read the gcc manual to
see what options are available, but it's quite another to truly
understand what they all represent.
does such a document exist?

Perhaps an ASM book covering the essentials will help for starters;
then, books on compilers and how they work aren't hard to find on the 'net.
