It might be well known that the book was a good introduction to the linkers and loaders.
However, does anyone know the more sophisticated and modern approach to get introduced to the subject ?

You might be interested in the work of Amal Ahmed on formalization of linking, e.g. this paper.

These design notes for a modern parallel linker can also be an interesting read.

Thanks!
These sound to be exactly what I want now! :-)
I have been following Morrisett's work of TAL and Ahmed's work around 2000 when I consider the designing of "sub-language" that can be get through the compilation of a language followed by a backword decompilation.
But I didn't know this paper.
