May people and organizations have spent significant effort over the years developing ABIs. This page is a list of useful references and resources that show what others have done that may be useful to the project.
- Linkers and Loaders by John R. Levine. Explains what linkers and loaders do, touching on ABIs and object file formats. Copyrighted in 2000, so some of the information on object formats is a little old, but the basic ideas and issues haven't changed too much, so a good place to start.
