Blogs not useful for documenting complex information!

Parent article: Striking gold in binutils

I followed the two links to blog entries about gold and ggx with interest, but ran head on
into a brick wall where it appears to be impossible to quickly read just the links about each
project with out wading through the rest of the irrelevant blog entries.  Are there any links
to pages that consolidate the relevant project info?

The first ggx link is a summary page that refers to all the blog entries.  I haven't found the
equivalent for Ian's linker series.

I certainly agree that the blog format is very bad for trying to follow along.

That's because the whole of Ian's linker series is almost-never-documented 
gold dust. Read it all, you know you want to...

In Ians' case it's quite easy to access the whole series because the integer numbers at the
end of the URLs are consecutive.
