Hi
I am looking for the source code related to linking stage--coz I am
trying to modify (very slightly) the linker. I understand that 'ld'
is the linker in Linux. My question is:
Is 'ld' a part of gcc toolchain?
--If it is, I should be able to find source file producing 'ld'.
But I haven't found the source file to be compiled to 'ld'.
--If it's not, main() of gcc.c should invoke ld if it found the '-
o' option. But I didn't find the invocation either(maybe it's not a
straightforward invocation).
The linker is ld, and is in the binutils package. http://
sourceware.org/binutils/.
To see what's really going on try adding -v and -Wl,-v to your gcc
command line.
