What in this context is 'aboriginal' behavior? (I have never really understood what aboriginal LINUX is.) Or is the intent vaguely metaphorical, to suggest something old, indigenous, long antedating the current?
About the linkage editor, it is true that it has not been withdrawn; it was functionally stabilized long ago; it is already and becoming progressively more irrelevant; its continued use is unwise. The binder can produce such few load modules as may be required very early in the IPL process, i.e., before support for PDSEs and program objects becomes available.
