   Week 11, Of Linkers and Loaders

   Building on top of what we discussed in Week 5 in the context of the compiler chain, we take a look at how a relocatable object file is turned into an executable by the dynamic linker (ld) and how an executable is loaded into memory by the run-time link-editor (ld.so or ld.elf_so).
