+# Thoughts of generating ELF32 files
+# * In ELF parlance, linker notes are called relocations.
+# We need to solve relocations only when generating an
+# executable file.
+# * ELF symbols are defined relative to their corresponding sections'
+# origins. Basically, a symbol's value consists of two parts:
+# reference to its section and its location inside the section.
+# * We'll need some symbols to represent offsets in the generated
+# file. It's probably best to treat them as ELF absolute symbols.
