I know exactly how an ar archive is made of all the non-PIC .o files and
a ranlib works. I know what happens when ld puts together position-
independent-code (which is position-independent because it uses the
GOT) and generates a shared library. I know how GCC only includes the
.o files from an ar library archive which it needs and nothing more.
I know that the dl* functions in libc itself are just stubs. All
I don't know is why we can't load ld-elf.so.1 for static executables
as well as "dynamic" ones.

I was asking because I wanted to be referred to where I could find
where these were discussed. I'm not going to wade through a search
that I don't even have a hint on what to look for.
