These files are some GNU utilities for operating on binary files.
Note that GNU make, which used to be included here, is now distributed
in a separate tar file.

The GNU version of ld has some interesting features you will notice:

1. Undefined and multiply-defined global symbol errors
are now associated with specific source files and line numbers,
and printed in a format M-x next-error can parse.

2. Normally no output is written if there are serious errors.
Use the option `-noinhibit-exec' if you want an output file anyway.

3. Global symbols can be defined by indirection to other symbols.
See comments at definition of N_INDR in ld.c

4. LD can accumulate sets of related values from all the object files
that are being linked together, and put them into a vector that can
be accessed at run time.  Thus, you can arrange for each file to have
initializations to be run when your `main' function sees fit, without
having to know the names of all the files that are linked together.
See comments at definition of N_SETA, etc., in ld.c.
