But get someone to show you how 'ar' works [...] Now, get them to show you how 'ld' works

As a complete aside, anyone wanting to know how ld works is unlikely to do better than reading Levine's excellent "Linkers and loaders" book.

Ian Lance Taylor also wrote an excellent series on ELF linkers on his
