Hi Group, Can anyone provide me with some good links containing documentation on Executable & Linkable format(ELF)? Documentation at very basic level would be preferable. How does ELF format fit in better that a.out format with respect to cross compilation? (Portability issues) What all features of ELF file format does a kernel programmer/ device driver programmer need to know?
