Add debug sections, symbols, and section headers to ET_EXEC and static PIE, keeping image, debug-section, and TLS coordinates distinct.

Build a static PIE from class8's frontend and class6's layout, separating static fixups from load-time pointers repaired by supplied startup code.

Follow a deleted function through DWARF tombstones, debug relocations, string merging, compression, separate debug files, build IDs, and split DWARF—and test whether the debugger still tells the truth.

A return address is only the beginning. Decode real CIEs and FDEs, follow a C++ exception through its two phases, and see how the linker makes unwind information survive garbage collection and become searchable at runtime.

A linker began as a way to move reusable code. Follow the problems that led to object files, shared libraries, unwind tables, security metadata, and modern parallel linkers—then link a small program by hand.
