I wish all projects like these had some sort of documentation as to how they worked. All I can see is that the `-B` flag tells GCC to look in the ased directory for internal binaries (cc1plus and ld), but anything other than that would require more than the few minutes I have to look into.

It's also really interesting to see the audience this is reaching. The issues on the GitHub repository are quite telling.

Open the cc1plus or ld "internal binaries" to be even more confused ;)

Is it really that confusing though? He's just using a python script that runs the program instead of linking it. Sure the details may be interesting but the high-level concept is obvious

Yeah, I was referring to the details. It looks like it calls internally into both tools, but not after doing some messing with the binary sections.
