It specifies the memory layout of the process. -A relocatable file contains code and data suitable for linking with other relocatable and shared object files. -A shared object file (a.k.a. shared library) contains code and data suitable for the link editor ld at link time and the dynamic linker at run time. The dynamic linker may be called ld.so.1, libc.so.1 or ld-linux.so.1, depending on the implementation.
