I have a hard-copy of this book, and it seems like the PDF isn't the final version, judging by the hand drawn illustrations at least.
The book does dive into some old and arcane object file formats, but that's interesting in its own way. Nice to get a comparison of how different systems did things.
After reading that book and other sources, I examined how people typically create libraries in the UNIX/Linux world. Some of the common practices seem to be lacking, so I wrote an article about how they might be improved: https://begriffs.com/posts/2021-07-04-shared-libraries.html
Edit: That covers the dynamic linking side of things at least.
