- The
linux-gcc mailing list is really the best place to
see what's happening, usually without even posting to it. Remember,
it's not Usenet, so keep the questions down unless you're actually
developing. For instructions on joining the mailing list, mail a
message containing the word help to
majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu. Archives of the list are at
http://homer.ncm.com/.
- There's a certain amount of information about what the
linux-gcc list is doing at my
ELF web page,
when I remember to update it. This also has a link to the latest
version of this HOWTO, and the patches it refers to. For US people
and others with poor links to UK academic sites (that's nearly
everyone outside of UK academia), this is all mirrored at
http://www.blackdown.org/elf/elf.html
- See also Bobby Shmit's
ELF upgrade experience web
page.
- The
GCC-FAQ contains much general development information and some more
technical ELF details.
- There's also documentation for the file format on
tsx-11. This is probably of most use to people who want to
understand, debug or rewrite programs that deal directly with binary
objects.
- H J Lu's document
ELF: From The Programmer's Perspective
contains much useful and more detailed information on programming with
ELF. If you aren't LaTeX-capable, it is also available as PostScript.
- There is a manual page for
dlopen(3) supplied with the
ld.so package.
