Just a quick question do any of you guys know any good reading for binutils besides the documenation given with it like maby a book on binary formats like elf and a.out; and creating them from assembly or RTL, maby a book on assemblers and linkers is what i am looking for.
It would help a lot if one could know to which things these are related... It could be expected that people have learned that the ELF format came with "Unix System V Rel 4" and Unix and Unix- like systems like Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD have adopted this same format, so a simple search with "System V ABI" could lead to many documents... Like : http://calderasystems.com/developers/devspecs/abi386-4.pdf (the search gave a 'https://' URL) For the early BSD 'aout' and SVR3.2 'COFF' format (the basement in Windoze's 'PE' format) probably similar searches could give results.
