If one knows/remembers that there are companies providing prebuilt GNU 
development tools,
and that they usually provide PDF docs for these tools, then one finds 
those manuals, like :

http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1039

for Linux/ARM tools. The manuals though are generic, the 'ld' manual 
here seemed to be for
Linux 'binutils-2.19.51'...  A Linux-user of course would like to have 
GCC, glibc, gas, etc.
manuals too in one's "bookshelf"...
