Dear all,
	I would like to know how one can debug the linker at source level. I have 
not done this type of debugging before. How are there tools usually 
debugged. I am not able to figure out how it is possible to debug a linker. 
Is there any special way for debugging there ??

Any help or information will help me for making the GNU linker work on my 
MIPS based system

With best regards

Koundinya

The tool you need is called gdb.  There's nothing special about the
linker; debugging it is just like debugging any other complex program.
If you've really never used a source level debugger, then you have a
pretty steep learning curve ahead of you.
