I tend to dislike any kind of linker magic in user-space quite profoundly. The most I can tolerate is PLT, I guess. But even that is something I don't appreciate all that much when I need to debug low level code. So I agree with you there 100%. Now, on the other hand, I guess kernel is different though. Isn't it supposed to be one huge piece of magic to begin with? ;-) Thanks, Roman.
