For newbies who want to learn about PLT's and relocs in the comfort of
their own home:

"Linkers and Loaders" by John R. Levine.
256 pages. ISBN 1-55860-496-0

An excellent introduction to the required topics, with good chapter
questions, and references. Recommended shelf material, even if you just
pass it out to all the interns.
