tools-linking at opensolaris.org probably isn't the right alias for kernel requests. Even though krtld is a link-editor, it falls outside the realm of the link-editors (ld(1) and ld.so.1(1)) we discuss on this alias. krtld was designed, and has been maintained with different rules and goals that the user-land components. Having said that, I'm not sure what alias would be better for your request. Sorry. -- Rod.
