There should be some documentation for the binary and object formats
independent of the source if it's to be anything like a "standard."
One shouldn't have to look through the linker, AND the loader, AND
the GNU C Compiler (which, in fact, you CAN'T look through unless
you want your work to come under the nasty GPL).
