   I am trying to understand the process of dynamic linking, in detail.   
   For the purpose, I tried .got section of ELF.   
      
   q.1 : I read in ELF Standard 1.2(Appendix) that Global offset table's   
   format and interpretation are processor specific. Can some body please   
   help me, why we don't have standard for this as well and why it has to   
   be processor specific?   
      
   q.2 : Can someone point to a tutorial or some thing, where I can get   
   some understanding of operations of a dynamic linker on a live   
   process, examining the contents of .got, .got.plt sections etc in each   
   step (at least for Intel)?
