> Do you have a better source of documentation for these linker script features than the gnu docs. I find the gnu docs difficult, for example the gnu docs state for NOLOAD that: "the section should be marked as not loadable, so that it will not be loaded into memory when the program is run". Which I find difficult to interpret in in terms of ELF and leaves me required to read the source code to understand what NOLOAD does!

I really wish I did; most of the time it is having to go to the source code, binutils mailing list posts or commit logs, to work out what is supposed to happen.
