Yes, it takes a bunch of .o files and links them into an executable.

  > Can it set the starting address like TEXT, DATA and BSS by command option?
Not reliably.  The way to do this is with linker scripts.

  > Can it print symbol table by text?
Yes.  There is a map option which will dump out the linker map
table.  You can also use "nm" to dump the symbol table.

  > Can it put away segment starting address and size in the head of object?
This information is standard in the ELF headers I believe.
