= Minimal ELF file
It is non-trivial to determine what is the smallest legal ELF file, or the smaller one that will do something trivial in Linux.
Some impressive attempts:
* https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/5696/shortest-elf-for-hello-world-n
* https://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/tiny/
* http://timelessname.com/elfbin/
In this example we will consider a saner `hello world` example that will better capture real life cases.
