I want to know if there is some resource available, some book or something where I can learn about the code of GNU Linker. I have downlo开发者_Python百科aded the code, but as I am new to this field was not able to make much out of it. I know what linkers do and all, but wanted to learn that how it is actually implemented. Some suggestions are also welcome, so as to how to go about it. Thanks

Maybe it would be worth starting with this paper introducing the new Gold linker:
