I hope this is at least remotelt on topic here.
There is already a mailing list for BFD development discussions:
bfd@cygnus.com. Send a note to bfd-request@cygnus.com in order to
join.
Is there any hint where to start, or where to look for more information?
I'm afraid not. The documentation is out of date and actively
misleading. All you can do is look at existing backends and try to
emulate them. In my opinion the ELF and ECOFF backends are probably
the cleanest.
If you ask on bfd@cygnus.com, others may be able to help. I can
answer specific questions, but general questions are tough.
