Hello,


I just read the spec of the Executable and Linking Format (ELF), the
file format that is used on modern operating systems for executables.
The GNU ld linker is able to produce such code, but AFAIK, it does
not have an option for (statically) linking scripts (shell, AWK, Perl)
together with their interpreters into an executable.


Does anyone know of a linker which can do this ?

[It's not just a linker you need, you'd also need a version of the
language interpreter that was prepared to read from strings in the
program. But it sounds like a rather peculiar thing to do with little
practical benefit. -John]
