Dear gurus:

Is there a hardcopy reference (title, author)
that can explain the principles of the UNIX
loader/linker, ESP. the difference between
one-pass/two-pass linkers.  I am spending
gobs of time permuting the order of my libraries,
indicating that I don't know the priciples
behind what a linker does.  I have spent a
chunk of time trying to locate such a reference
already and can assert that it is not readily
available.  (The Aho book is too general, 
clarity counts.)

Any tips or suggestions or opinions greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks, fellows!  Please repond to jat2@mdli.com
