Why the 2 downvotes? The author obviously put some effort into answering, so constructive criticism would be useful. This is depressing to see.

@RokeJulianLockhart: Oh weird, yeah I don't get the downvotes either. I didn't put the most effort into this answer like formatting the links, and to some degree some of it could be a comment, but I still think overall it works as an answer. As someone who has personally used the phrase "dynamic executable" in Stack Overflow answers, I wanted to chime in here and shine some light on the low-level toolchain side of things. As long as you found it useful, I'd assume some other people did, too. Total vote count seems to be 0 up / 1 down at the moment.
