OK, So I know that ELF is a much newer object file format than a.out, and that it is supposed to somehow have better support for shared libraries, the rest of the known universe is using it, and that it is supposed to be somehow better and we are somehow supposed to be able to do more things. So, what are they? What can I, as a developer, do with ELF that I couldn't with a.out? What does it buy me? How will this difference impact me? Is there a discussion of this on line somewhere?
