>``The GCC HOWTO'' by Daniel Barlow.
In particular, this HOWTO discusses
compiler options for creating libraries and how to query
libraries.
It covers information not covered here, and vice versa.
This HOWTO is available through the Linux Documentation Project at

>``Executable and Linkable Format (ELF)'' by
the Tool Interface Standards (TIS) committee
(this is actually one chapter of the Portable Formats Specification
Version 1.1 by the same committee).
This provides information about the ELF format
(it isn't specific to Linux or GNU gcc), and provides a great deal of
detail on the ELF format.
See
<A
HREF="ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/ELF.doc.tar.gz"
TARGET="_top"
>ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/ELF.doc.tar.gz</A
>
If you get the file from MIT, note that the format is unusual;
after gunzipping and untarring, you'll get an ``hps'' file; just
strip off the top and bottom lines, rename it to a ``ps'' file,
and you'll get a printable Postscript file with the usual filename.</P
