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 ?? 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. Ian
