I've spent some time in ld.c lately:
https://github.com/bsdimp/mk211bsd/blob/master/hints/160.ld.diff
since I had to retro-fit the new archive support into the 2.10.1BSD +
patches posted to comp.bugs.2bsd version of ld I needed for 2.11BSDpl0 :)
Ideally, nobody would be able to tell my retrofits from the usenet patch
that's also in this diff...
